Dextran sulfate sodium
(9011-18-1)Dextran sulfate is a polyanionic derivative of dextran produced by esterification of Dextran with chlorosulphonic acid. The sulfur content is approximately 17% which corresponds to an average of 1.9 sulfate groups per glucosyl residue of the dextran molecule. Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) is the sodium salt which is a white to off-white powder freely soluble in water and salt solutions to form a stable, clear solution. The high purity and reproducible quality enables its application in ph

More Information
Gel-forming agents are commonly used ingredients in cosmetics, imparting a gel-like texture to products. The principle behind gel-forming agents involves the formation of a three-dimensional network structure to trap water or other solvents, thereby giving products their gel-like consistency. This network structure is formed through interactions between molecules of the gel-forming agent, typically including chemical bonds, electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonds, or van der Waals forces.
When the gel-forming agent is mixed with a solvent, its molecules intertwine to create a mesh-like structure within the solvent, akin to a spider's web. This network effectively traps the solvent within it, resulting in a stable gel state. This gel state provides the product with a certain viscosity and flowability while preventing it from flowing or separating.
Common ingredients of gel-forming agents:
•Polymers
•Cellulose derivatives
•Silicones
