TROMETHAMINE MAGNESIUM ALUMINUM SILICATE

Description

Tromethamine Magnesium Aluminum Silicate is a multifunctional ingredient used in both skincare and haircare formulations. This complex compound combines the buffering properties of tromethamine with the absorbent and thickening capabilities of magnesium aluminum silicate. In skincare products, it serves as a pH adjuster, helping to maintain the optimal acidity level for product stability and skin compatibility. The magnesium aluminum silicate component acts as a natural thickener and emulsion stabilizer, improving the texture and consistency of creams, lotions, and gels. In haircare applications, this ingredient can enhance the viscosity of shampoos and conditioners, providing a luxurious feel during use. It also aids in the even distribution of active ingredients throughout the product. Tromethamine Magnesium Aluminum Silicate is known for its ability to absorb excess oils and sebum, making it particularly useful in formulations for oily skin and hair types. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for sensitive skin formulations, and it can help to reduce irritation caused by other active ingredients.
