Gelling Agents for Gel Treatment with Vitamin Pushing Machines

For creating a gel treatment suitable for use with vitamin pushing machines, several gelling agents can be used. When selecting, consider factors like compatibility with active ingredients (vitamins), pH range, and desired texture.

Here are some suitable options:

• Sepimax Zen: This is a highly tolerant thickener that works well across a wide pH range and is resistant to electrolytes, which is beneficial when incorporating various vitamins or active ingredients that may be salts.
• ThixoGel™ (Thixotropic Gel Maker): This agent creates a thixotropic gel, meaning it is thick when still but becomes more liquid when pressure is applied (like during machine pushing). It is also resistant to acid, base, and electrolytes, and has a wide pH range.
• CarboQuick™ (Pre-Dispersed Carbomer Gel): This is a pre-dispersed carbomer gel that is easy to use as it doesn't require pH adjustment with alkali to form a clear gel. It increases viscosity and provides a gel texture.

These options can help you achieve a stable gel texture suitable for your vitamin treatment formulation.
