SEPIMAX ZEN™ (INCI: Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6) is a next-generation, pre-neutralized powder polymer made by SEPPIC. It thickens, stabilizes, and texturizes cosmetic formulas. It creates clear gels with a rich, velvety skin feel and handles difficult, stress-inducing ingredients like salt, acids, and alcohol without losing viscosity.

Key Features & Benefits

• Pre-Neutralized: Ready to use; it does not require a base like sodium hydroxide to build viscosity.
• High Electrolyte Resistance: Stays stable in formulas with up to 10% salt or high mineral content.
• Wide pH Range: Works effectively in formulas with a pH between 2 and 11, including harsh acidic treatments.
• High Compatibility: Works well with ethanol, AHAs, salicylic acid, sunscreens, and pigments.
• Eco-Friendly Profile: Inherently biodegradable and a non-microplastic polymer choice.

Common Applications

• Clear Gels: Glass-like transparent water or alcohol-based gels.
• Skincare: Serums, lightweight creams, and lotions with active ingredients like Vitamin C or AHAs.
• Hygiene & Hair Care: Shampoos, shower gels, facial cleansers, and hand sanitizers.
