Functions

Gelling agent

Moisturizer

Siligel is an eco-friendly, green, prepared gelling complex that helps reduce transepidermal water loss to keep skin moisturized.

A natural gel complex as smooth as silk, Siligel™ creates a natural veil to guard skin against trans-epidermal water loss and create a moisture-sealing effect. Skin is soft, supremely hydrated, and supple.

Carrageenan

Carrageenans are anhydrogalactose sulfate polymers (both gelling and non-gelling types) obtained from red seaweeds, including Eucheuma and Chondrus species. Carrageenan is a protein-reactive gum that stabilizes protein-containing cosmetic formulations.

Glucose

Like other sugars, glucose also captures water molecules enhancing moisture-binging capacity and maintaining skin hydration. In addition, proliferated skin cells like keratinocytes and fibroblasts use it as a fuel converting it into ATP that energizes and stimulates their functions.

Dehydroxanthan Gum

Dehydroxanthan Gum is a dehydrated xanthan gum, an anionic polymer, supplied as an off-white powder. In personal care applications, it is used as a fixative, thickener, gelling agent, and for styling aid.

Ceratonia Siliqua Gum

Ceratonia Siliqua (Locust Bean) Gum is a highly purified fraction of branched galactomannan saccharide polymers with a mannose-to-galactose ratio of 4:1. It is derived from the seeds of the legume tree Ceratonia siliqua.

Honey

Recent scientific evidence indicates that honey is also a potent would healer—an excellent antibacterial agent and humectant.

Methylcellulose

Cellulose derivatives have the polymeric backbone of cellulose, with repeating anhydroglucose units. After alkaline treatment, cellulose is reacted with methyl chloride to yield methyl ether groups. The end product is purified and ground to a fine powder and is known as methylcellulose.

Biosaccharide Gum-1

Biosaccharide Gum-1 is an anionic biotechnological polysaccharide obtained by a bacterial fermentation process and is accepted for organic cosmetics. It is a moisturizing, soothing, anti-aging, and hair-sheathing cosmetic active ingredient providing a soft touch to formulations.

Mannitol

Mannitol has hydrating and antioxidant properties that make it an ideal ingredient for use in skincare formulations.

Agar

Agar is a galactose sulfate polymer obtained from red seaweeds like Gracilaria and Gelidium and forms heat-stable, strong gels at concentrations less than 0.5%. The gel forms at 90°F and melts at 190°F, showing a high hysteresis lag.

Sialyllactose

Sialyllactoses are the core functional oligosaccharides in the mother's milk. They protect an infant from external viral infection when its immune system is not fully developed.

Tara (Caesalpinia Spinosa) Gum

Galactomannans from Caesalpinia Spinosa, in particular, have a 3:1 mannose:galactose ratio (Man:Gal) and relatively regular distribution of galactose along the main chain.

Mannose

Mannose is a simple monosaccharide sugar, a stereoisomer of glucose found in many plants and the human body. It plays an essential role in biological processes in the human body, particularly in protein glycosylation.
