Anti-settling effect, suspension of beads, pigments and glitters
Prevention of phase separation and Syneresis
Stabilization of oil/water emulsions
Suitability for aerosols and pump sprays: Thixotropic gels with Skygelâ„¢ atomize well.
Reduction of running and dripping
Uniform film formation: Pigments and sunscreen actives remain dispersed in the product and are evenly applied to the skin. This can help maintaining a high SPF.
Skin feel: Due to the uniform shape of the lathe like structure and their ability to glide easily over one another, Skygel™ adds smoothness and improves “lubricity†without being sticky. Cosmetic products with Skygel™ are soothing to the skin.
Sebum absorption: Skygelâ„¢ products have high oil absorption. Skygelâ„¢ is used in clay masks for absorption of sebum and body secretions.
