General Description

FC-ALGINTHIX, derived from Sodium Alginate, is a natural, water-soluble polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed. It functions primarily as a thickening, stabilizing, and film-forming agent in cosmetic and personal care formulations. Known for its smooth texture and non-greasy skin feel, FC-ALGINTHIX enhances product consistency and sensory aesthetics, particularly in gel-based systems. It is biodegradable, vegan-friendly, and compatible with a wide range of active ingredients, making it ideal for both traditional and clean beauty formulations. Cosmetic manufacturers often source FC-ALGINTHIX in bulk for use in both skincare and haircare products requiring natural viscosity control.

Uses in the Cosmetics Industry

FC-ALGINTHIX is commonly used across various cosmetic product types, such as:

  • Forms smooth, flexible films for lifting or hydrating effects.
  • Enhances texture and stabilizes emulsions.
  • Provides a lightweight, natural viscosity without tackiness.
  • Acts as a natural thickener and provides a soft feel to hair strands.
  • Used as a stabilizer and binder in gel-based oral formulations.

Due to its natural origin and multifunctional properties, FC-ALGINTHIX is widely purchased wholesale by formulators seeking to develop nature-inspired, performance-based personal care products.

Hazards

FC-ALGINTHIX is generally considered safe and non-toxic for cosmetic use. However, a few considerations include:

  • Rare, but potential for mild irritation exists in individuals with seaweed or iodine sensitivities.
  • As a natural polymer, it may be prone to microbial growth if not properly preserved in aqueous formulations.
  • Can degrade under extreme pH or high electrolyte concentrations, affecting texture and stability.

Storage & Stability

  • Store in a cool, dry, airtight container. Protect from moisture and contamination.
  • Stable under typical cosmetic pH ranges (4.0–8.0); avoid mixing with high levels of calcium ions which can cause gelation or instability.
