Description
The Versastique™ product line is a multi-functional material that provides a better way to formulate through simplified creation of functional and aesthetic solid stick applications. With translucent and clear stick properties, Versastique is ideal for natural, mineral and synthetic ingredients in cosmetics, personal care, skin care, sun care and health care products.
The Versastique product line includes gelling 4 substrates:
- SQ Squalane (anti-aging): solid stick form of squalane derived from plant sugar is a sustainable replacement for shark and olive squalene. It closely mimics the body’s natural moisturizers and is absorbed quickly and effectively, without leaving greasy residue on the skin.
- ML C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate (soothing): solid stick form of C12-15 alkyl benzoate provides a light and dry skin feel. It’s known as an emulsifier and stabilizer for antiperspirant actives.
- ME Hydrogenated Polyisobutene (light-moisturizing): solid stick form of hydrogenated polyisobutene is very light, non-greasy, and has good spreading properties. It has a wide range of chemical compatibility, and solubility for sunscreen agents and is a great mineral oil-free alternative.
- M Mineral Oil (moisturizing): solid stick form of mineral oil provides increased moisturization and convenience over regular mineral oil.
