Description
Sepimax Zen is a next‑generation, pre‑neutralized polyacrylate crosspolymer that acts as a powerful thickener, stabilizer, and suspending agent in a wide variety of personal‑care formulations. Thanks to its exceptional electrolyte tolerance, it lets you create clear or creamy gels—even with up to 10 % salt, AHAs, surfactants, or alcohol—while delivering a silky, “velvet” sensory feel.
BENEFITS OF USING SEPIMAX ZEN
-
High‑efficiency thickening & texturizing at low doses (0.2–5 %)
-
Extreme salt/electrolyte resistance (stable up to 10 % NaCl) for challenging actives
-
Forms clear, elegant gels or cream‑gel textures with “velvet” skin feel
-
Excellent particle‑suspending power—keeps pigments, exfoliants, or glitter uniformly dispersed Cold‑ or hot‑processable; no neutralisation required, saving time and energy
-
Boosts foam density and stabilises surfactant systems in shampoos & body washes
-
Compatible with ethanol, AHAs/BHAs, sunscreens, pigments, silicones, natural oils, and more

FORMULATION TIP
-
Cold process (fast): Sprinkle Sepimax Zen onto room‑temperature de‑ionised water. Allow it to self‑hydrate without stirring for 5–10 min, then mix gently until uniform.
-
Alternative: Pre‑disperse in glycerin or propanediol to prevent clumping, then add to water phase.
-
For emulsion cream‑gels, add the powder to the oil phase (hot or cold) at ≤1 % to dramatically boost viscosity once phases are combined.
-
Tolerates high electrolytes, AHAs (e.g., 4 % glycolic acid), alcohol, and up to 25 % oils when paired with natural gums (xanthan, guar) for extra stability. 1500 rpm) is sufficient.
APPLICATIONS
-
Clear or cream facial serums & gels
-
Shampoos, body washes & bubble baths (thickener + foam booster)
-
Hair‑styling gels with lasting hold and gloss
-
Sunscreens & SPF sprays (electrolyte‑rich)
-
AHA/BHA treatment gels (low‑pH stability)
-
Lotion cream‑gels with up to 20 % oils (or 25 % with additional natural polymer)
