Luvigel STAR's functions (INCI):
Viscosity control agent: Luvigel STAR increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetics
Polyurethane-39.
Luvigel STAR is a non-ionic, electrolyte-tolerant and polyurethane-based rheology modifier.
Luvigel STAR provides enriched skin and high active levels in sun-care formulations.
Moreover, Luvigel STAR is used in color cosmetics and cleansing products even when a wide pH range is required.
Luvigel STAR finds application in formulating conditioners and body-care products.
Luvigel STAR is an associative thickening agent for skin, sun and hair care preparations that performs across a wide pH range (2-12).
Luvigel STAR is a synthetic, aqueous solution of a polyurethane alkoylate polymer.
Luvigel STAR - polymer thickener for skin care products:
Luvigel STAR is a new rheology modifier based on polyurethane.
Luvigel STAR is characterized by a high thickening capacity, and retains its properties even under very difficult conditions.
So, modern skin care products and sunscreen lotions contain a significant amount of salts, which is due to the presence of active ingredients in their composition.
Unlike most thickeners on the market, Luvigel STAR is stable in saline environments without sacrificing performance.
In addition, Luvigel STAR can be used over a very wide pH range.
The chemical structure of this new thickener determines its reactivity to cationic, anionic and zwitterionic surfactants and emulsifiers, as well as the absence of the need for neutralization.
Using Luvigel STAR, Formulators can produce end products of varying viscosities, from light lotions to thick creams.
These products are distinguished by their ability to make the skin especially beautiful and luxurious.
Finally, the choice of Luvigel STAR thickener leads to a simplification of cosmetic production.
Luvigel STAR does not require pre-swelling, and its liquid form makes it possible to introduce a thickener into the composition at any stage of the production process.
Applicationss of Luvigel STAR:
Bath and shower products
Conditioner
Ethnic hair
Hair spray
Shampoo
Skin cream and lotion
Styling product
Sun protection
