Description

Valida is a highly fibrillated cellulose that stabilizes particles in suspension and O/W emulsions without an emulsifier at low dosage with minimal viscosity impact. It is highly thixotropic with excellent shear thinning properties for suspension in sprays. Valida enables better spreadability and spray-ability without drip and provides a supreme skin sensory experience, and a unique texture in formulations while also having the capability to fill wrinkles and smooth skin with a blurring effect. The product is a multi-functional bio-based additive which can be used in aqueous systems, oil-in-water emulsions, serums, creams, as well as colored formulations.

Valida BC+ is offered in an easy to use and disperse powder while Valida CS-3 is offered in a 3% gel form. Both can be used across skin care, sun care, hair care, and color cosmetics.

The natural cellulose of these products is the most abundant organic material on earth that is responsibly sourced from PEFC and FSC managed forests.
