Formulation insights
Why RICE-JEL NATURAL fits surfactant and conditioning systems
Pregelatinized rice starch is physically processed so that the granular crystalline regions are disrupted and particles hydrate directly in cold water. Hydrated granules and solubilised amylopectin form a viscoelastic polysaccharide network that raises low-shear viscosity, reduces syneresis and helps stabilise dispersed phases.
RICE-JEL NATURAL’s COSMOS compliance simplifies use in organic or clean-label personal-care ranges.
