Abstract -
Hydrocolloids are, in essence, the architects of texture in the personal care industry. These long chain macromolecules (usually polysaccharides) have a special affinity for water: they not only absorb it, but also ‘trap’ it to modify the rheology of a formula, transforming simple liquids into elegant gels, sumptuous creams or stable serums.
In the current context of ‘Clean Beauty,’ these natural ingredients have evolved from simple thickeners to functional raw materials that provide hydration, skin barrier protection and a superior sensory experience.
