ICE Alginate

Natural thickener combination with sunflower wax and sodium alginate (alginic acid) to make stable all-round lotions. This ICE product is best combined with an emulsifier, such as polysorbate 20 for example, to get a smooth lotion. Alginate is a natural polysaccharide (sugar from brown algae) that has a large capacity of absorbing water. Hydrophile / lipophile balanced to ensure the highest viscosity.
