VEEGUM^® EZ

VEEGUM^® EZ Magnesium Aluminum Silicate is a unique acidic smectite clay that produces dispersions in the 4.2 - 5.2 pH range for optimum compatibility with the naturally acidic pH of the skin. VEEGUM EZ one of the easiest of all the grades to hydrate.  VEEGUM EZ is a direct offset for VEEGUM Ultra and does not contain titanium dioxide.

VEEGUM EZ is a highly purified smectite clay suspension stabilizer, emulsion optimizer and rheology modifier.  VEEGUM EZ also reduces the slippery or sticky feel of gums and polymers, while providing a silky, tack-free feel in topical preparations.  This smectite clay is synergistic with common thickeners such as VANZAN^® xanthan gum and CMC.  These combinations will provide greater thickening, stabilizing and suspending properties than those developed by the individual components of the mixture.

Typical Use Levels: Between 0.5% and 2%
