Siligel

I use Siligel in some of my formulations. It has become increasingly difficult to source this ingredient in small amounts. I purchased from the manufacturer in bulk and am aable to offer this amazing product to formulators and DIY enthusiasms who need small amounts.

INCI : Xanthan Gum (and) Lecithin (and) Sclerotium Gum (and) Pullulan

Siligel™ is a natural gelling agent that leaves an amazing silicone-like skin feel. Siligel™ is easy to use (cold process, no pre-dispersion) and has an exceptional electrolyte tolerance (up to 20% NaCl), making it the ideal partner for formulations containing stressful ingredients. The versatility of Siligel™ leads to several applications either as a gelling agent, stabilizer, co-emulsifier, suspending agent, skin feel enhancer as a substitute of silicones and it even has moisturizing properties. Its natural origin with a sustainable green manufacturing process answers today’s demand for eco-friendly ingredients.

Siligel is preservative-free and eco-friendly. It provides an amazing silicone-like skin feel and a high resistance to electrolytes, due to its patented synergistic combination of phospholipids and polysaccharides. It is the natural solution to create robust formulations with no compromise between efficiency and aesthetics. It decreases the TEWL and high resistance to electrolytes. Siligel is suggested for use in cosmetics and personal care products.
