Bentone® LUXE WS

Cyclopentasiloxane (and) PEG-10 Dimethicone (and) Disteardimonium Hectorite. BENTONE® LUXE WS by Elementis is a non-abrasive, non-animal rheological additive for cosmetics and toiletries. It offers stable emulsification [w/s] and allows formulation of elegant textures along with thixotropic flow & suspension of active ingredients. It improves application properties, enhances skin-feel by masking greasy or tacky components and imparts residual silkiness to the skin. It provides thermostable viscosity control of the emulsion’s oil phase, shear-thinning viscosity and smoothness to the skin. It offers predictable, reproducible and stable viscosity control as well as controlled alignment of special-effect pigments. It gives a high degree of formulating flexibility and also provides coverage by dispersing pigments and sunscreen actives. It raises apparent melting point and ensures cost-efficient use of UV filters. BENTONE® LUXE WS is suitable for use in lip care, eye make-up, facial make-up, emulsions, creams & lotions, water in silicone emulsions, sun protection and after sun products. It is approved under the RSPO mass balance system. The shelf life of this grade is 2 years.
