French personal care ingredient maker Seppic has revealed new skin care insights into its Solagum AX rheology modifier.
The natural, film-forming polymer combines acacia gum and xanthan gum for an optimized performance.
A recent clinical evaluation found that, at 1% in water, Solagum AX reduces crow’s feet wrinkles, red spots and provides a softer skin.
It also offers a natural lifting effect, a sensation of freshness during application, a brighter and more radiant skin complexion after 30 minutes.
“Solagum AX is a 100% natural, readily biodegradable and multi-functional rheology modifier with better performance than xanthan gum alone,” said a Seppic spokeswoman.
“It better thickens and stabilizes formulas while bringing film-forming, soothing and moisturizing properties. It also imparts a better aqueous sensation with a non-stringy effect,” she added.
“In dermocosmetics, thanks to its higher pH and electrolytes resistance, the viscosity remains stable even with active ingredients (such as urea, glycolic acid, allantoin and aloe vera gel) or thermal waters.”
