Synergel products are available in multiple viscosity ranges and are compatible with many ingredients. Synergel products are visually appealing and do not discolor with age. They are easier and safer to formulate with than gels that use metal stearates or fumed silica and they provide fragrance retention and waterproofing properties.

The Versastique™ product line is a multi-functional material that provides a better way to formulate through simplified creation of functional and esthetic solid stick applications.

Versagel® ML 750 are 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® ML 750

The Versagel MX 500 T products are 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 low moisture 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.

It provides a light, non-greasy and silky feel, and serves as an effective alternative to petroleum and silicone- based ingredients. The gelled version provides additional benefits of a rheology modifier and a suspension agent for a wide range of cosmetic and personal care applications.
