Cosmetic Grade Carrageenan Powder-CAS 9000-07-1
Cosmetic Grade Carrageenan is a high-performance natural red seaweed-derived gelling thickener and stabilizer exclusive for elastic texture and suspended functional cosmetic formulas. Refined through pure physical low-temperature extraction technology, it retains high-activity seaweed polysaccharide components.
Different from rigid gel of agar, flexible film-forming of gelatin and silky texture of pectin, carrageenan is famous for high elasticity, strong suspension and ultra-stable system.
It can create bouncy and tender jelly texture for cosmetics, perfectly fix suspended particles and prevent component precipitation and formula demulsification. Its natural seaweed moisturizing factors can effectively lock skin moisture, relieve dry and tight skin, and smooth rough texture. With high safety, wide compatibility and long-term stability, it is the core texture shaping and system stabilizing raw material for high-grade elastic jelly cosmetics and suspended functional skin care products.
Key Benefits
• Natural Red Algae Source, Mild & Zero Irritation: Pure natural red seaweed raw material, physical extraction and purification without chemical modification or harmful residues. Non-toxic and non-sensitizing, high safety, suitable for sensitive skin and mild clean beauty formulas.
• Superior High-Elastic Q-Bounce Gel Texture: Unique seaweed molecular structure forms tough and tender elastic gel, avoiding hard and brittle texture of agar and soft and weak texture of pectin, creating high-grade bouncy cosmetic feeling.
• Industry-Leading Strong Suspending Capacity: Powerful particle locking performance, stably suspending plant powder, microcapsules, exfoliating particles and functional fine ingredients for a long time without settling, maintaining uniform product appearance.
• Ultra-Long Formula Stability & Anti-Demulsification: Excellent anti-stratification and anti-demulsification performance, effectively solving shelf-life layering and water separation problems, greatly extending product stable storage period.
• Natural Seaweed Moisturizing & Barrier Repair: Rich in seaweed polysaccharides, forms dense breathable protective film on skin surface, locks moisture efficiently, relieves dry roughness, and improves skin smoothness and resilience.
• Wide Compatibility & Stable Mass Production: Adaptable to full water-based cosmetic systems, stably compounded with various active ingredients, uniform batch viscosity and elasticity, zero performance difference in large-scale production.
Applications
• High-Elastic Jelly Mask & Transparent Gel: Exclusive core raw material for Q-bounce jelly mask, crystal transparent gel and tender skin care gel, creating high-elastic, tender and translucent product texture.
• Suspended Particle Functional Skin Care: Ideal stabilizer for formulas containing plant fine particles, exfoliating granules and microcapsule active ingredients, realizing permanent suspension without precipitation.
• Exfoliating & Cleaning Gel Products: Applied in transparent exfoliating gel and cleaning gel, enhancing gel toughness and particle suspension uniformity, improving product use experience.
• Long-Shelf-Life Daily Skin Care: Used in moisturizing lotion, soothing gel and body care products, improving formula anti-aging stability and avoiding deterioration and delamination during storage.
• Mild Sensitive Skin Care Formulas: Natural mild seaweed raw material, no irritation, suitable for sensitive skin hydrating and soothing products, balancing skin moisture and soothing discomfort.
• High-Stability Water-Based Cosmetic System: Optimizing rheological properties of water-based formulas, enhancing overall system toughness and stability, suitable for high-standard long-term storage cosmetic products.
