Aristoflex AVC

Aristoflex AVC is a high-performance synthetic copolymer used as a rheology modifier, thickener, and emulsifier in cosmetic and personal care formulations. It is ideal for creating smooth, stable, and luxurious textures in a wide range of water-based and emulsion systems. Due to its pre-neutralized, cold-processable nature, Aristoflex AVC offers formulators ease of use, excellent clarity, and a pleasant skin feel.
