BENTONE GEL DM5 V is a specially prepared dispersion of a non-animal origin organically modified hectorite clay in dimethicone. BENTONE GEL DM5 V delivers a combination of benefits in a single, easy to use product. It is designed to impart rheological control and suspension to both organic- and silicone-based cosmetics. It is an easily spreadable, non-oily emollient, which leaves a soft, non-tacky skin feel. BENTONE GEL DM5 V is also particularly useful in emulsions and can be used in "cold process" systems. It provides thermostable viscosity control of the emulsion´s oil phase, imparts thixotropic flow, improves application properties, offers unique and rich textures, enhances skin-feel by masking greasy or tacky components and imparts a pleasant residual silkiness to the skin. BENTONE GEL DM5 V is an excellent alternative to cyclopentasiloxane based products
