Rheozan® SH is a 100% natural & readily biodegradable suspending and thickening agent. It is produced by fermentation of Non-GMO agrobacterium tumefaciens. Its shear-thinning rheology, high tolerance to electrolytes and its smooth & velvety skin feel make it an excellent choice as a stabilizer for oil-in-water formulations in masstige and prestige skin care as well as in sun care. Rheozan® SH exhibits a unique wide pH tolerance making it particularly relevant for applications such as AHA-based anti-aging, skin exfoliation, skin whitening, skin tanning, hair coloring applications and depilatories. Finally, Rheozan® SH allows the design of emulsifier-free formulas, what could be of particular interest for natural skin care, as well as for facial skin care targeting dry & sensitive skins.
