Personal Care Ingredients

POLYGEL CA is a versatile, synthetic polymer, benzene-free and widely used in the cosmetic industry as a thickener and suspending agent thanks to its safety and versatility. POLYGEL CA dispersions are characterized by high viscosity and clarity. Therefore, it is very suitable for formulating sparkling and clear gels as well as for stabilizing emulsions. The normal percentage of use is between 0.1% - 1.5% depending on the type of formulation and final desired viscosity. POLYGEL CA has been proven safe for human use by extensive toxicological testing. It has been shown not to be harmful to eyes or skin when applied topically at concentrations up to 100%. Due to its high molecular weight and low toxicity, it may be used with confidence in both cosmetic formulations and pharmaceutical products such as antiperspirants/deodorants, color care products (hair dyes), soap/bath products (laundry detergents), sun care products (sunscreens), skin care products (moisturizers) and oral care products (toothpaste).
