Description

• Thickener and texture modifier
• Improving skin sensation and hydration
• Shine and filmogenic effect for hair
• Ideal for systems with high salt content (e.g. shampoos)
• Also suitable for W/S emulsions

Chondrus Crispus (Irish Moss) is a red algae rich in the polysaccharide carrageenan (~55% dry weight), which acts as a natural thickener. It exhibits excellent electrolyte and salt tolerance, making it perfect for formulations containing salt, without negatively impacting viscosity.

Note: It is not soluble in silicones, esters and SLES, but can be formulated with proper techniques.
