TECHNOLOGY 01

Texturizers: structure and sensoriality.

Emulsifiers and rheology modifiers that define the physical structure and feel of finished products. PEG-free, plant-derived systems designed for demanding formulators.

The category

This is the most crowded competitive category, dominated by the big players. Our answer is not to imitate them: it is to offer technically relevant systems — PEG-free, plant-derived, cold-processable — with direct formulation support on sensory performance, stability and compatibility.

The Matemulse (emulsifiers) and Mattex (rheology modifiers and texturizers) ranges cover O/W and W/O emulsions, oil-phase gelling and rheology modulation.

WHI CHOOSE THEM

Performance you can feel.

fas fa-bolt-lightning

Sensoriality

Silky, glossy or vanishing textures depending on the system.

fas fa-feather-pointed

PEG-free & plant-based

Polyglyceryl esters and glucosides of plant origin, many RSPO MB.

fas fa-snowflake

Cold process

Cold-workable systems for energy saving and simplicity.

Description

Matemulse OL RSPO MB

Ceteareth-6 Olivate

Non-ionic O/W emulsifier for creams: elegant, soft texture.

Matemulse PG6

Polyglyceryl-6 Pentaoleate

Non-ionic W/O plant-derived emulsifier, PEG-free, cold-processable. Stable, glossy emulsions even with low oil phase; in sun care it improves water resistance and SPF boosting.

Matemulse PG-SL

Polyglyceryl-6 Stearate, Polyglyceryl-6 Laurate, Glycerin

PEG-free plant-derived O/W emulsifier: short-chain polyglyceryl esters + glycerin for silky, creamy textures.

Matemulse GL

Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Glucoside

O/W emulsifier with lamellar, liquid-crystal structure. Use 3–6% in creams and lotions.

Mattex Rheo

Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Trideceth-10

Rheology modifier/structuring agent in inverse emulsion: light, vanishing, non-tacky texture with good electrolyte tolerance.

Mattex Lys

Lauroyl Lysine

Sensory texturizer: mattifying and soft-focus, silky powdery touch; in make-up improves slip and adhesion.

Mattex Gel F

Dextrin Palmitate, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Lactobacillus Ferment, Xylose, Silica

Natural oil-phase gelling agent with fermented moisturizing action and a mattifying effect. Alternative to silicone elastomers.
