Description
Versagel® ML Series are products based on C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, which provides a light, dry, and non-greasy skin feel. Versagel® ML Series provides superior solubility, broad ingredient compatibility, and water proofing properties. They also bring additional benefits such as suspension and stability of APIs such as organic sunscreen agents and topical pain relievers. They are known as an emulsifier and solubilizer for sunscreen agents and antiperspirant actives.
The suggested use level of these gels ranges from 5% to 70%, depending on the specific application. Versagel ML products can be easily combined with other oil-phase ingredients in the formula when they are mixed at elevated temperatures. To ensure uniformity during mixing, it is highly recommended that nonpolar or less polar ingredients be added to the gel first. Cyclomethicone and nonpolar esters can also be added to formulations containing these gels to modify the aesthetics of finished products.
Penreco’s Versagel Technology is used in a wide range of cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and personal care products all over the world. The patented system for thickening and gelling hydrocarbon materials offers an infinite number of customized rheological properties.
