Texture agent

Texture Ingredients or Chemicals 

Description of Texture agent: in the Personal Care and Cleaning industry, the look, feel, smell and finish of a product are essential. While the most important thing for a customer is to pick a product that meets their functional needs, they could be put off by a formulation that does not look, feel and smell pleasant. Therefore, besides perfumes and pigments, sometimes something needs to be added to improve the feel of the formulation. Texture agents are a good way to drastically improve the feel of the product. Not only will a texture agent make a formulation feel smooth, rich and creamy, but it can also boast additional properties that will increase the overall stability of the product. Texture agents are mainly used in skin care and body care products, but they can also be found in hair care and cleaning applications. Examples are IngrePol STAC401 for personal care products and IngrePol STAC40 for detergents and cleaners.
