AMIGEL rheology guide: Sclerotium Gum in gels emulsions and suspensions

A comprehensive technical formulation guide dedicated to managing rheology in cosmetics using the natural polysaccharide AMIGEL (Sclerotium Gum). This article explores the physical mechanisms of polymer hydration and network formation for structuring clear gels, light emulsions, and particle-suspending fluids. It covers pre-dispersion in polyols, electrolyte stability, shear rate handling, incompatibility limits, thermal limits, and precise pH controls. Features three complete DIY recipes with step-by-step compounding instructions and cold storage standards.

Aristoflex AVC 10 g

Cold-Process Thickener for Clear Gels and Stable Emulsions

Aristoflex AVC is a synthetic copolymer used as a thickening and stabilizing agent, mainly in skincare and color cosmetics formulations. Its main advantage is the ability to build gel or emulsion structure without heating, which makes it a practical choice for cold-process manufacturing of creams, lotions, gels and serums. This item belongs to the Gelling Agents and Thickeners category, which brings together polymer and natural thickeners used to build stable textures for both artisanal and industrial formulations.

The 10 gram package is designed for home formulators and small-batch cosmetic makers who want to test the polymer in trial recipes before scaling up production. Aristoflex AVC should be added during the cooling stage, once water and oil phases are combined and the mixture has dropped below 40 degrees Celsius, since prolonged heat exposure breaks down the polymer structure. Typical dosage ranges from 0.5 to 2 grams per 100 grams of finished product, depending on the desired viscosity and the rest of the formula.

This thickener shows good tolerance to electrolytes and a wide pH range, which makes it suitable for formulas containing salts, acids and active ingredients where conventional acrylic thickeners tend to lose stability. Aristoflex is frequently combined with natural polysaccharides to achieve a softer, more slippery gel texture — for example with Konjac Mannan, which adds extra viscosity and a moisturizing feel on skin. It is also paired with cellulose-based thickeners such as VIVAPUR CS 032 XV to stabilize emulsions containing solid particles or pigments.

In industrial practice this polymer is used for manufacturing sunscreen creams, after-shave gels, hydrating serums and for stabilizing emulsions with high oil content. It also finds use in color cosmetics, including foundations and concealers, where an even, non-migrating texture is essential. For formulas requiring extra resistance to temperature fluctuations, Aristoflex is often combined with Sodium Carbomer, which improves gel clarity and gives a firmer consistency.

Store the raw material in a dry place at room temperature, in a tightly sealed container protected from moisture, since the polymer is hygroscopic and may clump when exposed to humid air. Before use, sift the powder through a fine sieve to prevent lumps from forming when introducing it into the phase.
