Siligel

Siligel™ by Lucas Meyer Cosmetics acts as a gelling agent, co-emulsifier, stabilizer, and suspending agent. It is preservative-free and eco-friendly. It provides an amazing silicone-like skin feel and a high resistance to electrolytes(salts), due to its patented synergistic combination of phospholipids and polysaccharides. Siligel is a combination of extracts from natural sources known for their emulsifying and solids suspension qualities. Testing was done on each component of the formulation against the combination and the results showed that it was over 25% It decreases the TEWL and high resistance to electrolytes. Siligel™ is suggested for use in cosmetics and personal care products.
