Naturally Mild Surfactants for the Future of Cleansing

Elementis
ELEMENTIS will showcase the latest developments in the BENTONE® ULTIMATE series, including BENTONE HYDROLUXE™ 360, which delivers stability and skin comfort in advanced formulations.
BENTONE® ULTIMATE
BENTONE® ULTIMATE is the latest clay-based rheology innovation from Elementis, specifically developed to meet the needs of today’s formulators in skin care, sun care, and color cosmetics. This patent-pending oil-phase gel technology is based on organically modified hectorite clay and utilizes a 100% natural activation system, delivering exceptionally high activity levels.
Why BENTONE® ULTIMATE stands out:
- Mild activation: fully naturally-derived skin conditioning with Glyceryl Oleate
- Superior suspension of pigments, particles, UV filters and actives
- Stable, uniform emulsions with elegant skin feel
- Enhanced formulation flexibility
- Proven thermal stability and enhanced SPF effect
BENTONE HYDROLUXETM 360
BENTONE HYDROLUXETM 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
