gelling agent for silicone for use in makeup formulations or any kind of cosmetics with a mixture of silicone as the main Has a high ability to hold (suspension) pigments, pearl powders and various sparkling powders in the formula. without precipitation and make the color spread completely

Base: Cyclomethicone, medium thick, equivalent to Hectogel D5.

Hectorite Gel™ (Cyclomethicone Basee, medium thick, equivalent to Hectogel D5) Silicone gelling agent. Suitable for use in makeup formulations. or any kind of cosmetics with a mixture of silicone as the main Developed specifically to hold (suspend) pigment pigments in formulas to distribute pigments evenly in silicone-based make-up types.

Hectorite Gel™ (Cyclomethicone Base) provides a thixotropic viscosity, meaning that when shear is applied, the viscosity of the substance is reduced. But when the force is stopped, the viscosity returns to its original state. which is considered to be a flow characteristic that is suitable for all kinds of cosmetics, especially make-up a type that is a silicone base

Hectorite is a smectite clay mineral obtained from the hectorite mine in California, USA, which is the largest and the purest clay. and with high purity Makes it whiter and smoother. Compared to other types of clays that can act as a thickener for silicones, such as Bentonite.

Hectorite Gel™ (Cyclomethicone Base) is designed for use with silicones. which is commonly used in makeup formulas
