Sepimax™ Zen Powder

Description

Sepimax™ Zen Powder is a pre-neutralized polymer that can create transparent gels on its own, or can work as thickener and stabilizer in emulsions and surfactant systems. It was designed to handle up to 10% salt in an aqueous gel, and doesn’t require neutralization. It works synergistically with fatty alcohols to increase viscosity dramatically in emulsions. When used to produce a transparent aqueous gel, it produces products with an elegant skin feel and velvety touch.

Sepimax™ Zen Powder works synergistically with fatty alcohols, like cetyl, cetearyl, or behenyl alcohol, at up to 1% in the oil phase of the product to dramatically increase viscosity.

Cosmetic Benefits of Sepimax™ Zen Powder:

Efficient use at low levels
High resistance to electrolytes
Wide pH range, even at acidic pH
Suspending properties
Synergies with other polymers or emulsifiers
Elegant sensory profile
No neutralization
Can be used in hot and cold process formulations
No clumping

Formulation Guide

Colour & Appearance: White powder

Stable in pH range: Stable between pH 2 – pH 8

Grade: Cosmetic

Recommended Usage: Emulsifier-stabilizer and thickener – 0.5 – 5%, Suspending properties – from 0.15%

The manufacturer advises up to 25% oil can be incorporated into the gel when coupled with a natural polymer like xanthan or guar gum, agar agar, pectin, cellulose derivatives, or gelatin at 1%. We think 25% oil might be optimistic with many formulations, but this may well depend on your formulation.

When used in a lotion, it can be used as a stabilizer for up to 15% oils and 4% electrolytes at as low as 2%. Without electrolytes, it can stabilize up to 20% oils.

When used with surfactants, Sepimax™ Zen increases foam density while thickening anionic and non-ionic surfactants. Used at 2%, it can produce soft and creamy foam and lather.

Sepimax™ Zen can be used to make low pH gels, and can be used with up to 4% glycolic acid, 0.1% magnesium chloride, and 0.2% EDTA.

Solubility: Water

Mixing Method: Sprinkle Sepimax™ Zen over the aqueous phase and leave without stirring for a few to 8 hours to hydrate. Or sprinkle Sepimax™ Zen over the aqueous phase and blend using the lowest speed – about 500 rpm – and increase the speed to 1500 rpm as you add the electrolytes, for approximately 10 minutes to allow it to hydrate. When used to create a cream gel, sprinkle Sepimax™ Zen into the hot or cold oil phase. Then add your oil phase to your water phase.

Compatibility: It is compatible with silicones, mineral oil, emollient esters and other natural oils and butters. It is an anionic emulsifier, so it is not compatible with cationic ingredients.

Application: clear gels, hair gels, cream gels, lotions, sun care, shampoo/body wash thickener, foam enhancer

Recommended Storage: Our powders should be stored in cool temperatures away from direct sunlight and moisture in an airtight container. (Current Lot will expire: 02-2028)
