Cosmetics and personal care

In cosmetic applications OCEANTHIX™ LV enhances formulation performance by boosting viscosity, improving sensorial properties, and complementing other biopolymers— delivering a smoother, plumper feel while enhancing skin hydration.

It plays an important role in developing 100% bio-based & biodegradable alternatives to synthetic thickening agents such as carbomers.

Food

In food applications OCEANTHIX™ LV alginate elevates texture, mouthfeel, and stability, offering a natural alternative for improved consistency, helping to replace animal-derived ingredients like gelatin, catering to the growing demand for vegan and plant-based options.

Textiles

IN TEXTILE PRINTING, the specific viscosity of OCEANTHIX™ alginate offers a more sustainable alternative to synthetic thickeners, ensures precision and control in printing, reducing the carbon footprint and preventing synthetic polymers from being rinsed into waterways.

Material Science

In material sciences, alginates can play an important role in the development of bioplastic films. While the typical kelp-derived alginates seen on the market are richer in M-Blocks, OCEANTHIX™LV is richer in G-Blocks which promotes greater polymer cross-linking.  The low-viscosity nature of OCEANTHIX™LV is ideal to create fluid coatings that offer high oil-barrier properties.

OCEANTHIX™ alginate in cosmetic applications

OCEANTHIX™LV plays a key role in developing 100% bio-based and biodegradable alternatives to synthetic thickening agents like carbomers.

Petroleum-based polymers are widely used in personal care – from stabilizing emulsions to thickening sulfate-free cleansers, serums, and gels. Currently, there is no sustainable 1:1 replacement for carbomers or acrylates — but OCEANTHIX™LV offers a significant step forward.

It delivers tangible benefits to formulations, including hydration, texturizing, and viscosity enhancement, while ensuring ease of use, high performance, stability, and scalability.
