SENSOCEL® stab

Let`s get movin` for cosmetics without microplastics

SENSOCEL® stab is a highly pure white, odourless and tasteless fine powder based on insoluble, colloidal microcrystalline cellulose. It is used as a microplastics free stabilising system. SENSOCEL® stab is not only gentle to the skin but also to our nature.

SENSOCEL® stab – so much more than just a stabiliser

  • formation of a 3D, colloidal network
  • excellent stabilisation without any impact on the viscosity
  • enables fine textures & exclusive skin feel
  • natural alternative for carbomers & acrylates
  • thixotropic character for sprayable emulsions
  • excellent for sun care with physical UV absorber
  • Pickering emulsions (emulsifier free) and emulsifier reduced emulsions
  • free from microplastics

    • Under the influence of high shear force, SENSOCEL® stab forms a colloidal 3D-fibre network that is characterised by thixotropic and shear reversible properties. It enables the formulation of sprayable emulsions. SENSOCEL® stab stabilises not only particles in a formulation but the formulation itself – no matter if emulsifier reduced, emulsifier free or as a replacement for microplastics based stabilisers. Apart from that, SENSOCEL® stab has a positive influence on the spreadability of the formulation and considerably improves the skin sensation.

    Technological properties of SENSOCEL® stab

    • high process stability
    • pH stability in the whole pH area
    • temperature stability
    • presence of free ions is uncritical
    • viscoplastic

    Examples for the use of SENSOCEL® stab

    • preparation of Pickering emulsions
    • stabilisation of emulsifier reduced emulsions
    • stabilisation of physical UV-absorbers in sun care
    • stabilisation of sprayable emulsions for an ideal spray performance
    • stabilisation of leave-on & rinse-off products and oral care
    • SENSOCEL® stab is suitable for conventional and natural cosmetics

    With SENSOCEL® stab we provide a stabilisation system that is easy to handle and highly stable, independent of the chemical composition of the formula. It will be our pleasure to support you with recommendations about the appropriate product!
