Hydagen Clean offers not only biodegradability, but also pleasant sensory profiles that consumers love. The cold-processable rheology modifier is suitable for aqueous systems like gels and serums as well as novel formats such as gel strips, peel-off eyeliner or eye patches. Thanks to excellent film-forming and gelation properties, it allows formulations with individual and appealing textures.
Alongside face-care products, Hydagen Clean is also ideal for modern body- and haircare products with verifiable environmental compatibility.
