Description
This thickening agent helps create the desired texture and consistency in skincare formulations, preventing products from being too runny or thin. It works by absorbing water and forming a gel-like structure that gives creams, lotions, and serums their smooth, spreadable feel. Generally considered safe for topical use with minimal risk of irritation for most skin types.
