Description
Crothix Liquid
Crothix Liquid is a high-performing, liquid thickener designed for surfactant-based cosmetic formulations. It enhances product texture, provides luxurious viscosity, and improves the overall sensory feel of shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and bubble baths. Unlike traditional thickeners, Crothix Liquid is easy to use, cold-processable, and provides consistent results without compromising clarity or performance.
Today, Crothix Liquid is widely trusted in personal care formulations for its ability to thicken surfactant systems efficiently, reduce irritation potential, and deliver rich, stable lather across a wide range of cleansing products.
Description
Crothix Liquid is a versatile, PEG-free thickener that works by associating with surfactant micelles to build viscosity. It eliminates the need for salt adjustment, offering an easy and reliable way to increase thickness while improving skin feel.
Applied in cleansing formulations, it not only improves product stability but also reduces irritation, making it especially suitable for gentle or sulfate-free systems. Its liquid format allows for quick incorporation and precise control of viscosity.
