The Lubrizol Corporation has announced the launch of its newest multifunctional, oil-soluble rheology modifier, OILKEMIA™ 5S polymer. Celebrated for its ability to create diverse forms and maximize visuals in oil systems, OILKEMIA 5S polymer offers the 5s benefits:
- Superior thickening efficiency in a variety of anhydrous or emulsion systems
- Superb clarity with broad oil compatibility
- Suspension of particles or water droplets in medium to high polarity oils
- Stabilisation of mild, emulsifier-free emulsions
- Sensory enhancement with a pleasant, non-tacky feel.
OILKEMIA 5S polymer is dispensed as clear solid granules and produces thickening through an associative mechanism. When dispersed in oil, polymer-polymer interactions and polymer-oil hydrogen bonding result in gelation. Designed to enhance the alchemy between cosmetic ingredients and active oil components, OILKEMIA 5S polymer delivers consistent results across a range of oils.
Today's consumers want cosmetics with unique visuals and a soft, elegant feel, using Lubrizol's OILKEMIA 5S polymer, formulators can create that desired aesthetic experience.
In addition to its ability to produce sought-after visuals and textures, OILKEMIA 5S polymer is highly compatible with organic UV filters, inorganic pigments, metal oxide pigments, and micas, enabling the formulation of effective sun protection products as well as innovative colour cosmetics.
