 Scleroglucan

Scleroglucans

Sclerotium gum is produced by aerobic fermentation of sugar with the fungus Sclerotium rolfsii. Composed of non-ionic sugar monomers sclerotium gum forms a triple helix in solution. As a cold soluble thickener and stabilizer, sclerotium gum is an ideal derived natural choice for formulations needing a smooth and soft texture. 

 

Actigum™ VSX 20

INCI: Sclerotium Gum (and) Xanthan Gum

Actigum VSX 20 texturizer is a rheology modifier that builds over the well-known properties of two highly safe and derived natural ingredients: sclerotium and xanthan gums. The combination of those two nature-derived polymers provides enhanced functional benefits, such as a high yield value resulting in good suspending properties and a higher viscosity than what can be obtained with the individual ingredients at the same dosage. This product is recommended for skin care, sun care, toiletries and hair care products.
