BENTONE GEL OLV V is a dispersion of organically modified hectorite in Olive oil. It offers rheological control and suspension to the oil phase of cosmetics. It is useful in cold process systems.

FANCOL® SHEA BUTTER is a natural fat obtained from the fruit of the Shea tree. Shea Butter is an excellent ointment base. It has an unusually high content of oil unsaponifiable matter far exceeding that of Cocoa Butter. It is from this that FANCOL® SHEA BUTTER shows its ability to protect the skin from sun and helps to ease superficial skin irritation. Its oily qualities improve skin softness. FANCOL® SHEA BUTTER is an excellent skin conditioning agent, which melts at body temperature, giving it good spreadibility. FANCOL® SHEA BUTTER enhances shine and has excellent superfatting qualities. This product is compliant with ISO 16128 requirements.

BENTONE HYDROCLAY™ 700 is a highly beneficiated additive that imparts thermostable rheology and provides excellent suspension control. An easily dispersible powdered blend of smectite clay and Xanthan gum, it is a 100% natural, stable and light sensory rheology modification. It increases the viscosity of the aqueous phase and stabilises viscosity on ageing with a broad pH and electrolyte tolerance, at varying temperatures and under different shear conditions.

BENTONE GEL^® SS71 V is a specially prepared dispersion of an organically modified hectorite in Petroleum Distallate. BENTONE GEL SS71 V delivers a combination of benefits in a single, easy to use product. It is designed to impart rheological control and suspension to organic- and silicone-based cosmetics. BENTONE GEL SS71 V is also particularly useful in emulsions and can be used in "cold process" systems. It provides thermostable viscosity control of the emulsion's oil phase, improves application properties, enhances skin-feel by masking greasy or tacky components and imparts a pleasant residual silkiness to the skin. BENTONE GEL SS71 V is an alternative to traditional polymer or cellulose-based thickeners for stabilising emulsions.
