Sodium Alginate– Sodium Alginate
THICKENING - TEXTURISING – STABILISING
Flower Tales Sodium Alginateis a gelling agent naturally extracted from brown seaweed (Phaeophyceae ). It gives viscous gels even with cold water, gives texture and stability to emulsions and holds well when adding other active ingredients. It has an off-white/light brown colour and it’s a valid alternative to Xantan Gumwhen a clear, transparent gel is not required. Compare to xantan gum, it does not have film-forming properties.
Solubility: water soluble. Solubility increases in warm water.
DOSAGE: 0.2-2%, depending on the required viscosity. It is recommended to disperse it in glycerinebefore adding to water. Stable at pH > 4
APPLICATIONS: gels; emulsions; face masks; gommage; shampoos.
