UniThick-DEG / Dibutyl Ethylhexanoyl Glutamide

Short Description:

UniThick-DEG, as an oil thickener, stabilizer, and oil gelling agent, it effectively controls gel strengths and viscosity. When applied in oil stick products, it endows them with a transparent appearance and a non-sticky user experience, enabling the formation of clean, hard oil sticks and clear oil gels. UniThick-DEG can increase the viscosity of oils, optimize pigment dispersion, and enhance the stability of emulsions. Thanks to its versatility, it is widely used in various cosmetic categories, including hair care, sun care, and makeup products like lipstick, lip-gloss, eyeliner, and mascara. It’s also used in skincare products such as creams and oil serums.

Application

Oil-Gel Agents are components used to increase the viscosity of or oil-containing liquids. They enhance the user experience by adjusting viscosity and suppressing the creaming or sedimentation of emulsions or suspensions, thereby improving stability.

The application of Oil-Gel Agents gives products a smooth texture, providing a comfortable feel during use. Moreover, they reduce the separation or sedimentation of components, further enhancing product stability and extending shelf life.

By adjusting viscosity to optimal levels, Oil-Gel Agents enhance usability. They are versatile across diverse cosmetics formulations—including lip care products, lotions, hair care products, mascaras, oil-based gel foundations, facial cleansers, and skin care products—making them widely applicable. Thus, in the cosmetics industry, Oil-Gel Agents serve as commonly used components in beauty and personal care products.
