About Basf Cosmedia Sp

Basf Cosmedia Sp

Cosmedia® SPis an emulsifying polymer with stabilizing, thickening and emulsifying properties that gives formulators precise sensorial control, enabling them to achieve light textures, good spreadability, a fresh, pleasant skin feel and good tolerability. It also allows products to be marketed as emulsifier-free. This product is a neutralized, fine power, that is easily dispersing, and helps to improve cushion for cold process formulations.

Advanced Rheology Control for Personal Care Formulas

BASF Cosmedia SP offers precise viscosity management and enhanced texture for creams, lotions, and gels. Its polymer structure supports high transparency and stability, even at varying temperatures or pH levels, ensuring smooth product consistency.

Reliable Stability and Shelf Life

Engineered to be stable from pH 4 to 11, Cosmedia SP maintains integrity under a wide range of formulation conditions. The purity of 99% and robust resistance to acids and alkalis further assure shelf life and consistency over 24 months.

Efficient and Convenient Handling

With quick solubility in water and a bulk density of approximately 0.7 g/cm, Cosmedia SP enables streamlined production. It comes in easy-to-store 20 kg bags and is safe for use up to 80C operating temperatures, making it practical for large-scale manufacturing.
