- Product Performance
Stronger Suspension with Smoother Spreading
More Stability, Better Sensory
Both the traditional G-GEL 102V and our new G-GEL Silkane feature stronger yield stress as well as a more optimal shear curve when compared to the most popular D5-based gel on the market. This translates to higher suspension power as well as more improved sensory during application. Of special note is the G-GEL Silkane, a gel designed for replacing silicones outperforming the competitor’s silicone clay gel in the silicone emulsion. This highlights the power and versatility of our G-GEL technology. This graph compares the yield stress at 10% usage in Applechem’s “Weightless Liquid Foundation”, Version B.

- Usage Guidelines
Add the Ggel 102V, under medium or high shear, to a portion of the organic components with which it is mutually compatible. Mix until homogenous before adding other ingredients. Take into account the potential large difference between the Ggel and the lower viscosity component into which it is mixing, when choose the right mixing equipment. Typical cosmetic equipments such as homogenizer would work.
When using only low-shear mixing equipment, stir the Ggel alone and then slowly add the most compatible component by portions, always ensuring the mixture remains homogeneous at each stage.
Normal dosage is 3 – 15% of the oil phase.
