Caution
Veegum Ultra is a highly refined smectite clay used as a suspension stabiliser, emulsion optimiser, and rheology modifier in personal care and topical formulations. It helps improve product texture, enhances stability, and reduces the slippery or sticky feel often caused by gums and polymers, giving formulations a smooth and tack-free finish. Veegum Ultra performs well in low-pH systems and is widely used in OTC topicals, including sunscreens, acne treatments, and other skin care applications.
