SIMULGEL™ NS – Liquid Thickener & Emulsifier

INCI Name: Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer (and) Squalane (and) Polysorbate 60

Description

SIMULGEL™ NS is a ready-to-use, pre-neutralised liquid polymer from SEPPIC. It thickens, emulsifies and stabilises in one ingredient, so you can make fresh gel-creams, lotions and even sprayable fluids without a separate emulsifier, by simple cold process.

It gives a light, cooling, melting feel on the skin and stays stable alongside demanding ingredients such as AHAs, DHA (self-tan), alcohol, sunscreens and pigments. It is preservative-free, vegan-suitable and not classed as a microplastic.
