Hectorite Gel SOFT is a natural clay-based gel derived from hectorite, a type of smectite clay. Modified for cosmetic applications, it offers unique rheological properties, acting as a thickener, stabilizer, and suspension agent in oil-in-water or water-in-oil formulations. Its lamellar structure provides excellent viscosity control and pigment dispersion, making it ideal for creating smooth, stable cosmetic textures.
