Disteardimonium Hectorite is a vegetable-derived, non-animal organically modified hectorite used as a thickener and rheology modifier in cosmetics and personal care products. It is highly efficient in low to intermediate-polarity materials, delivering predictable, reproducible, and stable consistency. It enables shear-thinning flow with excellent suspension and is commonly used in antiperspirants, color cosmetics, creams and lotions, sunscreens, lipsticks, eye products, facial make-up, and haircare products. It is also used in makeup formulations to suspend solid-state powders during hot-fill operations and beyond if final viscosity is low.
