natural skin moisturizing and smoothing agent Sclerotium Gum

Product Detail

Cosmate^®SCLG,Sclerotium Gum is a natural gum that produces an instant gel base when combined with water. It is a gel-like polysaccharide produced through a fermentation process of Sclerotium rolfsii on a glucose-based medium. Cosmate^®SCLG is a member of the β-glucan family. It retains skin moisture in a natural way and improves the sensory characteristics of personal care formulations. When it comes to skin, beta glucans have been found to be film forming, wound healing and skin smoothing.Some applications include: After shaves, anti-wrinkle, after-sun, moisturizers, toothpastes, deodorants, conditioners and shampoos.Cosmate^®SCLG,Sclerotium Gum has natural skin smoothing as well as soothing properties. It is an excellent base for everyday topical applications when a gel is preferred to a lotion, cream or oil. Cosmate^®SCLG,Sclerotium Gum is a multifunctional gelling agent with stabilizing properties,similar to Xanthan gum and Pullulan with rheological properties but unlike most natural and synthetic gums, it has high thermal stability, is resistant to hydrolysis and retains skin moisture due to its efficiency as a thickening agent, emulsifier and stabilizer. It is a highly stable, natural, non-ionic polymer. It provides a unique elegant touch and non-tacky sensorial profile of the final cosmetic product. It is easily dispersible in cold process and shows good skin compatibility. Cosmate^®SCLG is used in abundant cosmetic and personal care products and formulations due to its competence as a potential emulsifier, thickening agent, and stabilizer. Cosmate^®SCLG with excellent properties of *Moisturizer,* Sensory improver,*Thickening agent,*Stabilizer ,* Cold-soluble,*Electrolyte tolerant,*Forms fluid gels with very high and unique suspension properties,*Sparkling clarity,*Process flexibility and tolerance,*Excellent and exceptional suspension for insoluble solids and oil droplets,*Highly effective at low concentrations,* Shear reversible behavior,* Excellent emulsifier and foam stabilizer,*Excellent stability in extremely high conditions Sclerotium Gum is a natural, high-performance polysaccharide derived from the fermentation of Sclerotium rolfsii, a type of fungus. Known for its exceptional thickening, stabilizing, and film-forming properties, it is a versatile ingredient in skincare formulations. Its ability to enhance texture, provide hydration, and improve product stability makes it a valuable addition to modern skincare products. Key Functions of Sclerotium Gum *Texture Enhancement: Sclerotium Gum acts as a natural thickener, providing a smooth, luxurious texture to skincare products. *Moisture Retention: Sclerotium Gum forms a protective film on the skin's surface, locking in moisture and preventing water loss. *Stabilization: Sclerotium Gum improves the stability of emulsions and suspensions, ensuring a consistent product performance. *Soothing & Calming: Sclerotium Gum helps soothe irritated or sensitive skin, reducing redness and discomfort. *Non-Greasy Feel:Sclerotium Gum provides a lightweight, non-greasy finish, making it ideal for a wide range of skincare formulations. Sclerotium Gum Mechanism of Action: Sclerotium Gum works by forming a hydrogel network that binds water molecules, creating a protective barrier on the skin's surface. This barrier helps to lock in moisture, enhance product texture, and stabilize formulations. Advantages of Sclerotium Gum *Natural & Sustainable: Derived from natural fermentation, it aligns with clean beauty and eco-friendly trends. *Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of products, including creams, lotions, serums, and masks. *Gentle & Safe: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and free from harmful additives. *Proven Efficacy: Backed by scientific research, it delivers visible results in improving skin hydration and texture. *Synergistic Effects: Works well with other active ingredients, enhancing their stability and effectiveness..
