Versagel® MG 750 T is based on hydrogenated C6 – C14 alkenes combined with our patented gelling technology. Versagel MG offers an alternative to silicones for formulating products when a silky, elegant after-feel is desired. Versagel MG gels are compatible with most ingredients, with most non-ionic surfactants, and other synthetic and natural emollients. A unique property of the Versagel product lines is their suspension capability for fine particles. Versagel MG can be utilized as suspension vehicles for fine particles or encapsulated liquids such as Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxide, Talc, Decorative Glitters and Vitamins E and C.

Versagel® MN 1600 is anhydrous clear gels that provide versatility and a distinctive, elegant feel. The polymer system provides lubricity and conditioning, while the ester base, isononyl isononanoate, offers non-greasy emolliency. Due to the polymer matrix in the gel, these materials enable fine particles, such as color pigments, to be readily suspended or dispersed with minimal settling and agglomeration. Versagel MN products also exhibit good thermal and UV stability and silicone solubilization. Depending on the application, the suggested use level may range from 5% to 60%. Versagel MN gels should be blended with the rest of the ingredients in the oil phase of the formulation, while the nonpolar or less polar ingredients are added to the gel first. The gels are compatible with most nonionic surfactants, cyclomethicone, phenyl trimethicone, and other synthetic and natural emollients.

Versagel® MP 750 is a gelled fatty ester made from isopropyl palmitate. Isopropyl palmitate is an emollient ester derived from isopropyl alcohol and palmitic acid. Similar to hydrocarbon gels with similar chain length, the Versagel MP materials are equipped with a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain to provide skin occlusivity. Additionally, they have a carboxylic functionality near the end of the molecule to give a drier and lighter skin feel. Versagel MP acts as a fast spreading emollient providing moisturization and efficient absorption. It provides a soft and supple texture as well as good spreading characteristics. Isopropyl palmitate is an established penetration enhancer for transdermal systems and the innovative gelled option can provide better functionality and esthetics.

Versagel® MD 500 Fast-Drying And Transfer-Resistant Gel Versagel technology is used in thousands of cosmetic, pharmaceutical and personal care products around the world. Our innovative patented system for thickening and gelling hydrocarbon materials offers an infinite number of customized rheological properties.

Versagel® ML 1600 is based on C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, which provides a light, dry and non-greasy skin feel. It provides superior solubility, broad ingredient compatibility, and water proofing properties. It also brings additional benefits such as suspension and stability of APIs such as organic sunscreen agents and topical pain relievers. It’s 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 temperature. 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 Versagel ML materials to modify the esthetics of finished products

Versagel® MC 750 Light Non-Sticky Gel Versagel technology is used in thousands of cosmetic, pharmaceutical and personal care products around the world. Our innovative patented system for thickening and gelling hydrocarbon materials offers an infinite number of customized rheological properties.

Versagel® M 200 is based on gelling USP grade white mineral oil in such a way as it promotes superior moisture retention by creating a continuous film enabling oil to be easily spread with no pooling of the product. It also provides a lowmoisture system for protection of water-sensitive additive packages/ingredients. In liquid systems fine particles don’t easily remain in suspension; they tend to settle at the bottom and agglomerate. As shown below in the suspension stability testing, Versagel provides excellent suspension properties because the polymers provide sufficient yield stress to prevent aggregation and settling.

Versagel® ME 1600 is patented gelled emollients which exhibit extraordinarily good clarity, excellent thermal and UV stability, and versatile chemical compatibility. It is highly non-polar and thus, has a better affinity for low polarity materials such as fatty esters, low HLB nonionic surfactants, cyclomethicone, and other synthetic and natural emollients. Moisturization properties will be affected only minimally even though the viscosity of the gel may decrease significantly when other ingredients are added.

Versastique™ Clear ME 5T is a multi-functional material that provides a better way to formulate through simplified creation of functional and esthetic 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.
