Sepimax Zen is a multifunctional, pre-neutralized polymer known for its exceptional thickening, stabilizing, and texturizing properties in cosmetic formulations. It forms transparent aqueous gels and is highly resistant to electrolytes, tolerating up to 10% salt without compromising viscosity. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including face and body care, hair products, and low pH formulations.
It works synergistically with fatty alcohols like cetyl, cetearyl, or behenyl alcohols to significantly increase viscosity in emulsions. Sepimax Zen is compatible with various ingredients, including natural oils, silicones, ethanol, surfactants, AHAs, salicylic acid, sunscreens, and pigments. However, it is incompatible with cationic ingredients.
Processing Tips:
-
Sprinkle Sepimax Zen over the aqueous phase and allow it to hydrate without stirring for a few hours, or blend at low speed initially, increasing speed as needed.
-
For emulsions, it can be added to the oil phase and then combined with the water phase.
