DESCRIPTION

Sodium alginate: thickens and gels; base for peel-off masks that come off in one piece. Used in peel-off masks, gels and creams.

Description

A cream-colored powder, practically odorless and tasteless. It consists mainly of the sodium salt of alginic acid, a polyuronic acid composed of β-D-mannuronic acid residues.

Properties

It has moisturizing properties, as it is rich in trace elements. Its firming action also helps skin look more supple. Compatible with powdered actives, exfoliating particles, plant extracts, hydrosols and oils.

Practical formulation guide
Usage level: Guideline range: 0.2–1 % for gums and carbomers; depending on the desired viscosity.
How to use and incorporate: Premix with glycerin, propylene glycol or butylene glycol (1 part gum to 3–5 parts polyol) and disperse in the water while stirring; let hydrate 20–30 minutes until a gel forms.
Formulation tips:
  • Carbomers lose viscosity with electrolytes and at acidic pH; add salts, extracts and acidic actives carefully.
  • To suspend particles (exfoliants, beads), a thickener with yield value is required, such as carbomer or xanthan gum.
  • Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility: Check compatibility with surfactants and salts.
Storage: Storage In tightly closed containers. In a dry place.
Precautions: Avoid inhaling the powder. Powder spills with water are very slippery.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
