MACKSPEC® ST45

1 of 10 products in this brand
MACKSPEC® ST45 is a pre-neutralized, multifunctional liquid polymer for personal care and cosmetics. It is produced through an acrylamide-free, solvent-free, and energy-efficient inverse emulsion polymerization process. MACKSPEC® ST45 offers a perfect balance of softness and lightness, functioning as both a thickener and emulsifier. Ready to use in water-in-oil emulsions, it easily creates gels, creams, and emulsions under various temperatures. MACKSPEC® ST45 emulsifies oils (up to 40%) and disperses pigments effectively. With a fresh, quick-break, and melting skin feel, MACKSPEC® ST45 is ideal for leave-on skin care products such as soothing gels, creams, moisturizers, and calming face masks.
