The original and most widely used grade, VEEGUM® R Magnesium Aluminum Silicate is used in a variety of cosmetics and personal care products.  VEEGUM R is a highly purified smectite clay suspension stabilizer, emulsion optimizer and rheology modifier.  VEEGUM R 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 3%
