Disteardimonium Hectorite

Disteardimonium Hectorite is a fine powder that is often used as a thickener in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. This substance is derived from the natural mineral hectorite, which is composed of magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide and silica. It should not be forgotten that disteardimonium hectorite is also known as disodium uridine phosphate.

This material is often used in many cosmetic products. Disteardimonium hectorite can be loaded in the food industry, but in cosmetics it is mainly found in waterproof products such as sunscreens and make-up, but also in body lotions and whitening pastes. It is widely used because it adds smoothness and density to various creams and lotions. At the same time, it also works as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and suspending agent, which means it can help keep all the ingredients in a cosmetic product blended. It can also help to improve the distribution of pigments in the product and thus contribute significantly to its overall quality. Another advantage is that it is safe and non-toxic, so it is fully approved for use in cosmetic and skincare products.
