Magnabrite® Polargel® Volclay®
Patented Intercalated Clay Technology
Whether a product is light and creamy or smooth and elegant is a combination of many factors – but primarily the result of the rheological characteristics of the formulation. Thus, while typical rheology systems don’t always impact the function of the product, they strongly define the perceptual benefit of a product.
AMCOL Health and Beauty Solutions applies proprietary rheology technology to enhance the FEEL and the FUNCTION of personal care products. Through a combination of advanced purification processes, mineral selection, and formulary and surface modification, we have created a unique range of products designed to enhance the stability and improve the efficacy of cosmetic, personal care, and pharmaceutical applications.
