Cosmedia Gel CC: The Smooth Radiance Enhancer
Cosmedia Gel CC: The Smooth Radiance Enhancer
Without Cosmedia® Gel CC, With Cosmedia® Gel CC, formula fill in the skin
formula follows the skin micro-relief micro-relief with an homogeneous film, smoothing
building a very inhomogeneous film down the skin surface, improving the WR of
suncare products and pigments distribution
Propylene carbonate 1 – 5%
Use level : 2 – 10%
Optimized gel dispersion : ready to use, cold processable,high shear not needed
Clay unit
C18 chainé
Hectorite
[Na-Mg-Li-Silicate]
Na0.33[Mg2.67Li 0.33] Hectorite size is between 10-20 nm

Suncare spray with Cosmedia® Gel CC shows better stability at high temperature from
50° to 80° : The backbone of organo-clay platelets is inorganic and therefore not influenced
by the temperature changes

Shear Thinning Effect
Suncare spray including Cosmedia® Gel CC presents a higher viscosity and a shear thinning behavior: smooth velvety
application and good spreadability

Summary
Cosmedia® Gel CC impacts on the drainage control, viscosity control
and thermostable viscosity control.
Oil droplets are dispersed in a very homogeneous cover of hectorite minimizing the water
access and re-emulsification process
