The Lubrizol Corporation’s Noveon Consumer Specialties announced the release of its new Glucamate VLT Thickener (INCI Name: PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Trioleate (and) Propanediol).
This naturally-derived associative thickener reduces surfactant irritancy while producing superior thickening and a rich, creamy lather. Ideal for use in baby shampoos, facial cleansers, liquid hand soaps, mild shampoos and shower gels, this corn-derived thickener is Lubrizol’s mildest yet. Due to its liquid form, Glucamate VLT thickener can be used in cold processing and its easy pump viscosity allows it to be added to the manufacturing process at any time, including post-addition. This versatile, nonionic thickener is compatible with most ingredients used in today’s liquid surfactant systems. Its ability to reduce the skin and eye irritation caused by many common surfactants makes it ideal for formulating baby and elder-care products. It also provides luxurious sensory properties through the formation of rich, creamy lather and a light, emollient afterfeel.
