ALTER-EMULGEL is a 100% natural emulsifying and gelling agent, developed to create gel-cream textures with a silicone-like feel. It is made from a combination of African birch (Anogeissus leiocarpa) extract and konjac root (Amorphophallus konjac), stabilized with citrate. It allows for the creation of light emulsions and non-greasy creams, making it ideal for formulations that require both emulsification and gelling properties, without the use of surfactants.

Suitable for a wide range of cosmetic applications, including gel creams, light emulsions, face creams, and foundations. Ideal for products targeted toward young skin or formulations aiming for a lighter, fresher texture
