Granhydrogel O
Granhydrogel O is an aqueous solution of the polymer blend of glyceryl polyacrylate and poly(vinylmethylether/maleic anhydride) (PVM/MA). Granhydrogel O forms a moisturizing film on skin with a pleasant after-feel, and features the characteristics of a high power of water retention. Although it can be used as a hand/body moisturizing serum, Granhydrogel O performs with a superior silky feel and clear appearance when directly combined with 1-5% of silicone gels (i.e. a Gransil) or low viscosity silicone fluid of 5-20 cPs. The polymers in Granhydrogel O also function as a surface-active agent when oil/silicone ingredients are incorporated. As an excellent moisturizing agent, Granhydrogel O is recommended be used at 5-20% level in most skin care formulas.
