POLYPON® J-Series
Modern oil gels, stable textures and pleasant sensory feel for cosmetic formulations
Cosmetic formulations thrive on texture, stability and the user experience. Oil gelling agents and structurants transform liquid oil phases into stable, appealing gels - the basis for successful product concepts.
With POLYPON® J-DPA, POLYPON® J-EHG and POLYPON® J-LGL, POLYGON offers three versatile solutions for hard, transparent and soft oil-gel structures - tailored to different formulation goals.
POLYPON® J-DPA - Natural Oil Gelling Agent
- Naturally derived
- Excellent emulsion & product stability
- Smooth, creamy textures
- Improves viscosity & consistency
- Pleasant application & sensory feel
Ideal for: Creams, lotions, make-up and oil-based formulations
Processing: Pre-disperse in the oil phase, then heat with stirring to approx. 80-90 °C until fully dissolved/homogeneous. The structure forms on cooling.
INCI: Dextrin Palmitate | Application: Hard Gels
POLYPON® J-EHG - Strong Gelling & Clear Oil Gels
- Pronounced gelling effect even at low use levels
- Clear, elegant oil gels
- Pleasant, non-sticky skin feel
- Precise control of viscosity & texture
Ideal for: Sticks, balms, oils, serums and premium skincare
Processing: For clear, firm oil gels/sticks, dissolve completely in the oil phase. The required temperature is above the melting point and depends on the oil (approx. 105-175 °C); do not cool too early, as complete dissolution determines clarity and gelling performance.
INCI: Dibutyl Ethylhexanoyl Glutamide | Application: Transparent Hard Gels
POLYPON® J-LGL - Soft Gel Textures & Modern Sensory Feel
- Soft to medium-strength gel structures
- Transparent, aesthetic gel appearance
- Very pleasant, non-sticky sensory feel
- Flexible viscosity adjustment
Ideal for: Lip care, light creams and transparent oil gels
Processing: Dissolve completely in the oil phase. The required temperature is above the melting point and depends on the oil (approx. 75-140 °C) - usually lower than for J-EHG. Often used alone or in combination with J-EHG.
INCI: Dibutyl Lauroyl Glutamide | Application: Transparent Soft Gels
Sensory attributes (non-sticky, elegant) and sustainability (biodegradable, nature-based) are consistent features across POLYPON®.
