Description

FSS HydroThick TC Powder

FSS HydroThick TC Powder is a versatile "Hydro Swelling Droplet" (HSD) thickening emulsifier in powder form, designed for ease of use in a variety of formulations. It enables the creation of gel-like serums with minimal effort and facilitates cold-process creams and lotions when combined with oils. With effective thickening properties across a broad pH range (3 to 12), it is suitable for both low and high pH formulations. Additionally, it is compatible with ethanol-based products and formulations containing AHAs and DHA.

This pre-neutralized powder polymer provides excellent stabilization at low usage levels, even in formulations with a high oil content. It allows for the creation of aqueous gels, cream gels, and emulsions without the need for electrolytes. FSS HydroThick TC Powder is also well-tolerated by sensitive and delicate skin types.

Easily dispersible in either the oil or water phase, it works in both hot and cold process formulations. It supports the emulsification and stabilization of formulations containing up to 50% oil phase and can be combined with other emulsifiers to enhance viscosity and stability. It is compatible with silicones, mineral oil, emollient esters such as Ester AB, fractionated coconut oil, and various natural oils and butters. As an anionic emulsifier, it is not suitable for use with cationic ingredients.
