For several years, formulators have been looking for natural, multi-benefit excipients that go beyond their initial properties to offer minimalist cosmetics that meet a need for naturalness.
To meet this demand, Seppic has demonstrated the immediate cutaneous benefits of Solagum AX, a combination of Acacia gum and Xanthan gum obtained by coating using an optimized ratio which, according to Seppic, offers an excellent balance between performance and sensoriality.

"At 1% in water, Solagum AX has proven through clinical evaluation to reduce crow's feet wrinkles, red spots and give softer skin. It offers a natural lifting effect, a sensation of freshness on application, and a brighter, more radiant skin tone after 30 minutes. "says Seppic.
Seppic specifies that Solagum AX is a natural(1), easily biodegradable(2), multifunctional 100 % rheological modifier, more effective than xanthan gum alone. It thickens and stabilizes formulas more effectively, while providing film-forming, soothing and moisturizing properties. It also confers a better watery feel, with a non-filming effect. In dermo-cosmetics, thanks to its better resistance to pH and electrolytes, viscosity remains stable even with active ingredients (such as urea, glycolic acid, allantoin and aloe vera gel) or thermal waters.
