Valida S+

Cellulose. Valida S+ by Sappi acts as a stabilizer, rheology modifier, co-thickener and skin feel enhancer. It is a highly fibrillated cellulose in water suspension. It is derived from wood pulp sourced from sustainability managed, PEFC-certified forests. It is a 100% natural, biodegradable, multifunctional ingredient used in aqueous systems, oil-in-water emulsions, serums, creams and colored formulations.

• It has a unique 3D network structure which provides stabilization of lightweight or dense particles like fragrance oils or ZnO, with minimal impact on viscosity.
• It stabilizes formulation without thickening and offers moisturizing & fresh skin-feel, quick break and improved sensorial properties without greasy & tacky feel.
• It is easily spreadable, sprayable and highly thixotropic with excellent shear thinning properties.
• At an increased dosage, it can act as a thickener and also shows synergy with co-thickeners.
• Due to its high yield stress, it improves foam stability and produces dense, creamy and longer-lasting foam of natural surfactants.
• It offers SPF-boosting, stabilizes highly loaded mineral & chemical sunscreens and creates non-whitening formulations.
• Valida S+ is suitable for skin-, body-, sun-, hair-, baby care and other leave-on & rinse off formulas.
• It has a shelf life of 24 months.
