Lubrajel hydrogels offer wide ranges of enhancing technologies to make products feel more elegant, deliver a multitude of functions and aid ease of formulation. Lubrajel hydrogels are hydrophilic and consist of water, humectants and a polymer as a thickening agent. The solvent and humectant molecules are bound to the polymeric network, resulting in a structured system with increased viscosity. As a rheology modifier, Lubrajel hydrogels

Lubrajel® MG

Ready-to-Use Product Type:Lubricant
Application Area:Medical Devices

Lubrajel MG is a proprietary hydrojel formulation that was developed in the early 1970's as a non-drying, water-soluble lubricant for the medical industry. Lubrajel MG has been marketed since its development in 1973 as a medical lubricant. It has been used as a general and instrument lubricant for use during physical exams, and applied to catheters, thermometers and a host of other instruments to aid in use and patient comfort.

Lubrajel® RR

Ready-to-Use Product Type:Lubricant
Application Area:Medical Devices
Features:Excellent Lubricity

Lubrajel RR is clear and colorless, and virtually odorless and remains so after sterilization by gamma radiation. An initial apparent viscosity of about 25,000 cps (Brookfield RVT or equivalent, spindle #7, 50 rpm, 22º C) exhibits practically no change upon irradiation. Temperature stressed stability studies indicate that pH, viscosity, color, clarity and lubricating qualities are not sacrificed.

Lubrajel® MS-Free

INCI Name:Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer
Functions:Slip Agent, Thickener, Moisturizing Agent, Viscosity Modifier
Labeling Claims:Ulta Beauty's Conscious Beauty, Natural, Animal Products-free, Paraben-free
Benefit Claims:Imparts Lubricity, Good Consistency, Formula Stability, Moisturizing

Lubrajel MS-Free was developed in order to fulfill the need for a paraben free version of Lubrajel MS. It utilizes a preservative system different from our other Lubrajels being that it is paraben free. Lubrajel MSFree contains phenoxyethanol instead of parabens. Lubrajel MS-Free still has the same excellent moisturizing and rheological characteristics.

Lubrajel® Oil Free

INCI Name:PVM/MA Copolymer, Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer
Functions:Slip Agent, Thickener, Moisturizing Agent, Viscosity Modifier
Labeling Claims:Ulta Beauty's Conscious Beauty, Natural, Animal Products-free, Paraben-free
Benefit Claims:Silky Feel, Moisturizing, Spreadability, Imparts Lubricity, Good Consistency, Formula Stability

Lubrajel Oil Free is a low viscosity liquid. Although the solids content is equal to that of Lubrajel MS Free, its viscosity is only approximately 1000 cps where Lubrajel MS Free has a viscosity of greater than 250,000 cps. To differentiate the product from the other grades of Lubrajel Free it is designated as "Oil." Lubrajel Oil Free, however, is a very hydrophilic material and should not be construed as being hydrophobic.

This novel, natural skin conditioning gel imparts a light but velvety skin feel, improving the sensory characteristics of personal care formulations, while providing a powerful skin moisturizing effect. Unlike many other natural gels, Lubrajel Natural has good thermal stability, and exhibits a remarkably soft, smooth and non-tacky after-feel.

Lubrajel® CG

INCI Name:Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer
Functions:Moisturizing Agent, Thickener, Slip Agent, Viscosity Modifier
Labeling Claims:Animal Products-free, Ulta Beauty's Conscious Beauty, Non-Irritant
Benefit Claims:Softening, Moisturizing, Aesthethic Enhancement, Texturizing, Non-Sensitizing

Lubrajel CG was the very first Lubrajel and was developed in the early 1970's as a non-drying, water-soluble lubricant for the medical field. Lubrajel CG has been marketed since its development in 1973 as a medical lubricant. It has been used as a general and instrument lubricant for use during physical exams, and applied to catheters, thermometers and a host of other instruments. For medical uses this is now called Lubrajel MG. The Lubrajel CG name now applies only for cosmetics applications.

Lubrajel® II XD-Free

INCI Name:Glyceryl Polyacrylate
Functions:Thickener, Viscosity Modifier
Labeling Claims:Credo Clean Standard, Clean at Sephora, Non-Irritant, Natural, Animal Products-free, Paraben-free, Ulta Beauty's Conscious Beauty
Benefit Claims:Moisturizing, Spreadability, Imparts Lubricity, Good Consistency, Formula Stability

Lubrajel II XD-Free was developed in order to fulfill the need for a paraben free version of Lubrajel II XD. It utilizes a preservative system different from our other Lubrajels being that it is paraben free. Lubrajel II XD-Free contains phenoxyethanol instead of methyl and propyl paraben. Lubrajel II XD-Free still has the same excellent moisturizing and rheological characteristics.

Lubrajel® DV Free

INCI Name:Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer
Functions:Thickener, Viscosity Modifier, Stabilizer
Labeling Claims:Natural, Animal Products-free, Paraben-free, Ulta Beauty's Conscious Beauty
Benefit Claims:Spreadability, Imparts Lubricity, Emolliency, Good Consistency, Formula Stability, Moisturizing

Lubrajel DV Free is the most viscous of our paraben free Lubrajels. It is employed in a variety of personal care products where rheology as well as moisturization and feel are important; rheology being of primary concern. Lubrajel DV Free, because of its high yield value, is especially suitable for emulsion stabilization and suspension of compatible materials such as titanium dioxide, relatively unionized pigments, micas, pearlescent pigments, and cholesterol esters (liquid crystals).

Lubrajel® MGL

Applications:Wound Care, Laboratory & Diagnostics, Medical Devices & Assemblies
Product Families:Medical Grade Lubricants, Fluids & Lubricants

Lubrajel MGL is a medical lubricant with a lower viscosity than our standard medical lubricant, Lubrajel MG. It can be used as a general and instrument lubricant for use during physical exams. It can be applied to catheters, thermometers and other instruments to ensure ease of use and patient comfort.

Lubrajel® MS

INCI Name:Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer
Functions:Thickener, Slip Agent, Viscosity Modifier, Moisturizing Agent
Labeling Claims:Animal Products-free, Ulta Beauty's Conscious Beauty
Benefit Claims:Softening, Moisturizing, Texturizing

Lubrajel MS is a clathrate which contains a small amount of propylene glycol and methyl and propyl parabens. The clathrate holds water molecules and releases them when it is disrupted. Disruption occurs with the addition of ionic materials, acids or alkali. Normally, the salt content at the skin surface slowly disrupts the clathrate that in turn moisturizes the epidermal surfaces.

Lubrajel® II XD

INCI Name:Glyceryl Polyacrylate
Functions:Slip Agent, Thickener, Viscosity Modifier
Labeling Claims:Ulta Beauty's Conscious Beauty, Non-Irritant, Credo Clean Standard, Clean at Sephora, Animal Products-free, Hypoallergenic

Lubrajel II XD is the newest member in our Lubrajel series of products. Lubrajel II XD is a high efficiency clathrate gel designed to add exceptional body, moisturization, emolliency and most notably, stabilizing rheology to sparkling clear gel products and emulsions including oil-in-water and water-in-oil, multiple-emulsions and micro emulsions.
