ImerCare® Opaque Your natural solution for a rich, creamy texture in gels and shampoos
- High opacity and whiteness
- Natural, eco-friendly
- One-size-fits-all solution
ImerCare® Opaque is an eco-friendly solution opacifier that imparts opacity and whiteness to gel and shampoo formulations.
Most current opacifying solutions used in cosmetics are based on synthetic ingredients such as styrene/acrylate copolymers, which pose a potential threat to the environment and can be difficult to formulate.
ImerCare® Opaque is a 100% natural kaolin based solution which can be used to replace synthetic cosmetic opacifiers.
Compared to conventional kaolins, ImerCare® Opaque has an innovative particle shape which confers whiteness and a rich, creamy effect to gels and shampoos, giving them a luxurious, wholesome quality.
ImerCare® Opaque is:
- Neither pH nor ionic-surfactant sensitive
- Non allergenic
- Cold processable
- A one-size-fits-all solution for a wide range of gels and shampoos
- Compliant with industry microbiological standards without the need for irradiation
ImerCare® Opaque can be used in all cosmetic formulations requiring opacity. The recommended loading level is 0.5 to 1 wt% to obtain equivalent opacity performance to oil-derived chemicals.
