BENTONE LUXE WO provides emulsification and rheological properties for silicone free water in oil systems.
BENTONE LUXE WO creates extremely stable emulsions with a very light texture. Emulsions containing BENTONE LUXE WO apply easily without leaving a greasy film on the skin. This light texture allows for high oil concentrations that can be used for dry, damaged skin, yet feels light and silky for even oily skin types. This unique ability to deliver high loads of oil with a dry elegant skin feel make BENTONE LUXE WO ideal for all skin types.
BENTONE LUXE WO can be used in color cosmetics or sunscreens to disperse and suspend pigments and actives.

- Formulations Guidelines
BENTONE LUXE WO is a high viscosity, shearthinning product. To ensure good homogeneous mixing is achieved, care must be taken to overcome the large viscosity differential existing between the BENTONE LUXE WO and the other lower viscosity components.
BENTONE LUXE WO should be added to the oil phase of the system under homogenization to ensure proper dispersion. Mix until homogeneous before adding the other ingredients.
