Applications & Uses

Formulation Guidelines

Cosmetic Ingredient MultiFunctional G should be added to the emulsion's oil phase or, in non-emulsion-based formulations, at the beginning of the dispersion process, preferably by pre-mixing the solvent or oil for 5 minutes before other components are added.

Cosmetic Ingredient MultiFunctional G should be subjected to as much shear as possible during processing to develop its full properties. However, when using Cosmetic Ingredient MultiFunctional G, an incorporation temperature range of 55-65°C must be observed; below 55°C, thixotropy will not develop; above 65°C, soft gel-like particles may appear on cooling the formulation. The presence of higherpolarity oils and solvents will lower this upper temperature limit. To avoid the particles forming, continuous stirring should be maintained until the product has cooled to below 45°C.

Incorporation of Cosmetic Ingredient MultiFunctional G into dry systems is by normal powder blending techniques.

Suggested Use Levels

• Typical addition levels are 0.2 to 0.8 % Cosmetic Ingredient MultiFunctional G 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.
