A biotech-engineered ingredient produced through fermentation
Rheozan® SH is a natural rheology modifier produced by biotechnology involving pure fermentation of non-GMO organisms creating a powder form polysaccharide with thickening and stabilizing properties. This hydrocolloid gives aqueous solutions of high viscosity and high yield value even at low concentrations, not affected by temperature.
Rheozan® SH exhibits a unique wide pH tolerance making it particularly relevant for applications such as AHA-based products, skin exfoliation, skin whitening, skin tanning, hair coloring applications and depilatories. It also enables the design of emulsifier-free formulas, which could be of particular interest for natural skin care, as well as for facial skin care targeting sensitive skin.
