SYNTHALEN® CH is a thickening agent. SYNTHALEN® CH is a benzene-free synthetic polymer that is well known and widely used in the cosmetic industry as a thickener and suspending agent due to its safety and versatility. SYNTHALEN® CH dispersions have a high viscosity and a high clarity (see Fig. 1 and 2). As a result, it is ideal for creating sparkling and clear gels as well as stabilizing emulsions. If the proper neutralizing agent is used, very clear gels can be obtained in the presence of high amounts of organic solvents (e.g., ethanol). The typical percentage of use ranges between 0.1 and 1.5 percent, depending on the type of formulation and final desired viscosity. SYNTHALEN® CH is a 3V Sigma product.

Polygel CA is a substance synthesis laboratory chemical. A carbomer 940 product that is used to thicken hydro-alcoholic cosmetic products such as hand sanitizers, creams, lotions, and so on. The typical concentration is 0.5 wt percent. The product is first hydrated in the water phase with high shear for 45-60 minutes, then the alcohol is added and the pH is adjusted to 6.0-6.5 to thicken and increase clarity. When done correctly, this will result in a clear, transparent product. 3V Sigma manufactures Polygel CA.
