Compatibility of Mineral Oil Gel (Versagel M) and Hectorite Gel™ in Formulations

Mineral Oil Gel (Thixotropic, e.q. Versagel M1800) and Hectorite Gel™ (Mineral Oil Base) can indeed be used together in formulations.

Both products are designed for oil-based systems and utilize mineral oil as their base.

• Mineral Oil Gel (Thixotropic, e.q. Versagel M1800) is an oil-based gel that serves as a base for various formulas, providing a thick, oily consistency.
• Hectorite Gel™ (Mineral Oil Base) acts as a gelling agent for oils, specifically suitable for non-polar or less-polar oils like mineral oil. It is particularly useful for creating gel textures and for suspending pigments evenly in makeup formulations due to its thixotropic viscosity.

Combining these two can enhance the texture and stability of your oil-based formulations. Hectorite Gel™ can further thicken and stabilize the Mineral Oil Gel, especially if you require improved pigment suspension or a more robust gel structure.
