Answer
Film-Forming Agents for Gel Face Masks
For creating a thick film in a gel face mask, Polyvinylpyrrolidone K90 (PVP-K90) is a suitable ingredient. As mentioned by the staff, PVP-K90 acts as a film-former and thickener, helping to create a sticky and hard film, which is ideal for thick gel or cream mask formulations.
Different molecular weights of Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) are available, such as PVP-K15, PVP-K17, PVP-K30, PVP-K60, and PVP-K90. Combining different levels of these PVP types can help achieve the desired film properties and texture for your specific mask formula.
