When used in a lotion, it can be used as a stabilizer for up to 15% oils and 4% electrolytes at as low as 2%. Without electrolytes, it can stabilize up to 20% oils.
For cream-gels, SepiMAX ZEN should be added in the oily phase (hot or cold). Its hydration time is approximately 10 minutes, but the polymer may also be left to hydrate for a few hours without stirring; then it can be mixed rapidly by dispersant agitation to obtain an aqueous gel.
Sepimax™ Zen can be used to make low pH gels, and can be used with up to 4% glycolic acid, 0.1% magnesium chloride, and 0.2% EDTA. See details above regarding hydrating.
It is compatible with silicons, mineral oil, emollient esters oils and butters. It is an anionic emulsifier, so it is not compatible with cationic ingredients.
Sepimax Zen is anionic so it does not work well with cationic ingredients such as BTMS-50 or Honeyquat PF. However, it does work very well with electrolytes and acidic pH levels.
