Personal Care Ingredients

Lubrajel Oil Free from Ashland is a nature-derived, water-soluble hydrogel with a high natural origin content of 94.5–98.5%. It offers a lubricious, light, dimethicone-like feel and superior moisturization, making it an excellent alternative to dimethicone. This clear, colorless gel is cold-processable, non-oily, and customizable for slip, texture, and after-feel, suitable for skin creams, gels, sun care, and more.

Sil-Bent® Gel V-CA is a high-performance rheological modifier derived from organically modified smectite clay dispersed in natural coco caprylate. Designed for organic and natural cosmetic formulations, it provides excellent oil-phase thickening, pigment suspension, and emulsion stabilization while enhancing product texture and sensory performance. The combination of modified bentonite and coconut-derived coco caprylate delivers a lightweight, non-greasy skin feel, improves spreadability, and helps create thermostable, homogeneous formulations. Ideal for color cosmetics, sun care, emulsions, waterless products, and antiperspirants, Sil-Bent® Gel V-CA supports formulation stability while contributing to a smooth and luxurious application experience.
