VEEGUM® Pure Magnesium Aluminum Silicate is a general-purpose grade that complies with the standards for ecological and organic cosmetics. VEEGUM Pure is a highly purified smectite clay suspension stabilizer, emulsion optimizer and rheology modifier. VEEGUM Pure 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. VEEGUM Pure is OMRI™-listed and authorized by ECOCERT Greenlife™ as complying with the ECOCERT and COSMOS™ standards for ecological and organic skin care products and cosmetics.
