UniThick-DPE / Dextrin Palmitate/Ethylhexanoate

Short Description:

UniThick-DPE is a polymeric ester of saccharides and fatty acids, functioning as an effective oil thickener and stabilizer. It enhances the viscosity of oils while controlling gel strength and improving pigment dispersion for better emulsion stability. Additionally, it helps reduce oiliness and can be used to formulate soft gels. Thanks to its versatile properties, UniThick-DPE is widely used in cosmetics and skincare, including lipstick, lip gloss, eyeliner, mascara, creams, oil serums, and other skincare formulations.

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.
