Valida
Fibrillated Cellulose
Valida is a completely natural and biodegradable thickener based on fibrillated cellulose. Compared to conventional cellulose thickeners, a unique 3D network is formed in Valida through hydrogen bonding which results in an increased surface area and enhanced stabilisation at lower viscosities.
Valida is non-greasy and non-tacky and instead offers texturizing properties to the end product. Valida has excellent tolerance against electrolytes and stability over a broad pH range (3-12) and can be used in cosmetic spray applications.
Valida is in the process of COSMOS approval.
