Description

STRUCTURE PLUS polymer is an acid-swellable associative thickener which offers clear, thick gels even in the presence of cationic ingredients. Designed to thicken and stabilize formulations in the low pH range, STRUCTURE PLUS polymer will also thicken in the neutral region when used with surfactants. The use of surfactants will enhance its performance in the acid region, though it can also be used alone to thicken and stabilize products like anti-aging creams, lotions and gels, self-tanners, skin lighteners and acne medications. Because STRUCTURE PLUS polymer is supplied as an aqueous emulsion, it can be readily poured and mixed into any personal care formulation, creating improved manufacturing efficiencies and handling ease.
