VERSAGEL® SQ 1600T COSMETIC

INCI: Squalane (and) Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer (and) Butylene/Ethylene/Styrene Copolymer and Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamte.

Overview

Versagel® SQ 1600 T is manufactured in the United States from natural (sugar cane derived) and synthetic sources. Versagel SQ series products are a great additive or substitute in both oil-based formulas and emulsions. Versagel SQ is a gelled form of squalane. Squalane is naturally present in the skin lipid barrier and is an ingredient known for its exceptional skin membrane fluidizing and moisturizing properties, and its ability to penetrate the skin to deliver benefits. Like jojoba, it closely mimics the body's natural moisturizers and is absorbed quickly and effectively, without leaving greasy residue on the skin. Squalane is a non-GMO, plant-derived ingredient and Versagel SQ is a high-quality replacement for shark and olive squalene. It is derived from plant sugar, is ECOCERT approved, and is readily biodegradable as well.
