Products

Versagel MG 500 T are 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.

The Versagel HSQ product offers a silicone-free alternative to oil-based and emulsion formulas. The gelled structure is based on Hemisqualane (C13-15 Alkane) combined with patented block copolymer technology. Hemisqualane is a non-volatile emollient derived from plant sugar and is inherently biodegradable, ECOCERT-approved, NPA Natural Seal Certified, and a USDA Certified bio-based product. 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.

The Versagel MN 750 are 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. The 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.
