Siligel from Lucas Meyer is an optimised combination of phospholipids and polysaccharides, claimed to revolutionise the use of gums.
Unlike gums, it requires no predispersion, even when used in a cold process. It is also particularly resistant to a high amount of electrolytes.
Lucas Meyer says Siligel is suited to several applications, including as a gelling agent, stabiliser, co-emulsifier, suspending agent and skin feel enhancer, making it an excellent substitute for silicones.
