Electrolyte Tolerance of CreamMaker EG™

CreamMaker EG™ (e.q. Simulgel EG) has moderate electrolyte tolerance.

• Performance: It is more resistant to electrolytes compared to traditional Carbomer, allowing it to maintain viscosity better in formulas with some ionic content.
• Limitations: It is still sensitive to high concentrations of salts or minerals (such as Sodium PCA, Zinc PCA, or certain botanical extracts). If the electrolyte level is high, the viscosity of the cream or gel will significantly decrease.
• Recommendation: If your formulation contains a high amount of electrolytes or requires a low pH, you may consider using CreamMaker Acid™, which is specifically designed to be more stable in acidic environments and offers better resistance to electrolytes.

Usage Tips:

• Recommended use level: 1-3% (typically 1.5% for general creams/lotions).
• Can be used in cold processes and added to either the oil or water phase.
• Effective pH range: 5.5-12.
