AMIGEL 100 g

AMIGEL natural gelling agent for stable cosmetic formulations

Amigel is a natural polysaccharide gelling agent obtained through fermentation of the microorganism Sclerotium rolfsii. The ingredient is widely used in modern cosmetic manufacturing due to its ability to create stable gel systems and improve the texture of finished products. Amigel is convenient in production, compatible with various formulation types and allows predictable performance when scaling formulas from laboratory development to industrial production.

Properties and skin appearance outcome

Amigel creates a soft and uniform gel structure that ensures smooth product distribution on the skin. In finished formulations the ingredient contributes to a sensation of smoothness and comfort, providing light slip during application. After use the skin appears fresh and well maintained, while the product spreads easily without heaviness or stickiness, leaving a pleasant sensory finish.

Application across industries

Amigel is used in facial and body gels, serums, masks, light cream systems, lotions, after sun products, hair care formulas and cleansing systems. The ingredient is suitable for natural cosmetic lines, spa products and daily care solutions. The gelling agent is actively used in private label projects, contract manufacturing and serial production thanks to its stable behavior across different formulation systems.

Amigel is selected for formulations requiring transparent or semi transparent gels, texture improvement in emulsions and stabilization of systems without increasing product weight. The ingredient easily integrates into water phases and maintains structural stability during storage.

Recipe for a moisturizing gel based on Amigel

Purified water 80 g
Amigel 2 g
Glycerin 5 g
Panthenol 2 g
Preservative 1 g

To prepare the gel base purified water is placed in a mixing vessel, followed by gradual incorporation of Amigel under continuous stirring until evenly dispersed. After gel formation glycerin and panthenol are added with continued mixing until complete homogeneity is achieved. Finally, preservative is incorporated and the system is mixed until the structure becomes stable. The result is a transparent moisturizing gel with a soft texture ready for filling and use in care formulations.

Amigel is positioned for B2B use and the development of stable cosmetic systems with predictable characteristics. The ingredient supports texture reproducibility, formulation versatility and efficient scaling for private label projects and industrial production.

Заказывала здесь впервые и осталась очень довольна. Быстро связались, помогли с выбором, доставили вовремя. Рекомендую!

INCI	Sclerotium gum
pH	любой диапазон рН, от очень кислых до очень щелочных составов
Other
Application	Creating a gel preform that will have excellent stability throughout long term Gels with DMAE and acids Emulsion stabilizer Sunscreen stabilizer Gels and emulsions that require a pH of 2 to 11 Gels and emulsions containing electrolytes Sensor modifier and stabilizer in emulsions with high % oil input Thickener and sensory modifier in shower gel, shampoos and hair conditioners Stabilization of hair dye formulations Suspensions of pigments and active substances (including physical filters)
Att brand	France
Attention	All information presented on the site is for reference only, it is recommended to test for an individual reaction before use.
Color product	white powder
Features	avoid contact with eyes; do not exceed the dosage to avoid the opposite effect
Input percentage	0,2-2,5%
Name	AMIGEL 100 g
Packaging	container for transportation
Packing	100 g
Ph	any pH range, from very acidic to very alkaline compounds
Properties	Using AMIGEL at concentrations from 0.25 to 2%, gels with viscosities from 60 to 12,000 cps can be obtained. This makes it possible to obtain preparations with different characteristics, from solid gels to liquid (as in serum), depending on the need. It is recommended to create gels in hot water, then you will immediately get the desired consistency. Water should be 60-70°C. The gel is very easy to make, mix the gelling agent with cold water and put it on a steam bath, when the water heats up, just stir until the gel forms. The second option - in the already hot water, without removing the glass from the bath, with constant stirring, you introduce sclerotium powder. Stir all the time, then remove from the bath and stir until completely cooled. The second way gives even more pleasant tactile qualities. But in the first version, the gels are also very pleasant. Lumping will be minimal as our shop chose more granular
Purpose	AMIGEL is an exceptional stabilizer for emulsions and suspensions in general
Solubility	in water, creates a colloidal solution (gel)
View	from white to light yellow
Valid until	10.2028
