BENTONE HYDROLUXE^TM 360

BENTONE HYDROLUXE^TM 360 is a versatile clay additive that acts as both an emulsifier and stabilizer in oil/water emulsions. It increases the viscosity of the water phase in cosmetics, providing a smooth texture and stable suspension without the need for additional stabilizers such as carbomers. Its unique blend of gentle emulsifiers and natural stabilizers ensures easy handling and consistent results from batch to batch with minimal development effort. The inclusion of hectorite clay helps create stable emulsions that feel light and pleasant on the skin and provides thixotropy and heat stability for quality cosmetic formulations.

Key Benefits:

• Natural emulsifying and thickening capabilities.
• Increases the viscosity of the aqueous phase and stabilizes viscosity on storage, at varying temperatures and under different shear conditions.
• Allows oil incorporation phase volume of 10-35%.
• SPF boosting has been observed in formulations containing Hectorite clay.
• COSMOS conform
