Non-animal Origin Rheological Additive For Cosmetics And Toiletries
THIXCIN R PC is a non-hygroscopic derivative of
castor oil that imparts a high degree of thixotropic thickening in cosmetics mineral, vegetable and silicones oils, as well as low-polarity aliphatic solvents.
THIXCIN R PC provides thixotropy and imparts
good pay-off in stick products; improves product stability when used in the oil phase of emulsions; and can be used as a binder in pressed powder formulations.
Inci Name:
Trihydroxystearin
Use Levels
Typical addition levels are 0.2 to 0.8 % THIXCIN R PC by weight of the system (or oil phase in emulsions), depending upon the rheological properties required.In pressed powders, tablets and granules 0.5 to 2.0 % should provide adequate binding.
