Alginate

Description

What is Alginate?

Alginic acid, Alginate salts, and Alginate derivatives (collectively referred to as “Alginate”) can be used in their powdered form or dissolved in water to create a solution for various applications. In many cases, the amount of alginate used is minimal (typically around 1-2% of the final product), so achieving uniform distribution of alginate throughout the mixture is crucial to fully harness its functionality. In cosmetics, alginate is used as a thickening and gelling agent.

When Incorporating as a Powder

Simply adding a small quantity of alginate powder directly into the mixture may not result in an even distribution. To ensure uniform mixing, start by setting aside a portion of the main ingredients (approximately 10%) and mix the required amount of alginate powder into it as a primary blend.

When Using as a Water Solution

Alginate is a water-soluble polymer that, when dissolved in water, forms a viscous colloidal solution. When using alginate as a thickening agent or gelling agent, it is essential to ensure that the alginate is thoroughly dissolved, creating a homogeneous aqueous solution. Alginate is inherently highly hydratable and has good water solubility.

Alginate

Salts of alginic acid with monovalent cations (Na-salt, K-salt, NH₄-salt) as well as Propylene Glycol Alginate are all soluble in cold & hot water, and generate viscous aqueous solutions (Table 1).
Alginic acid and calcium alginate are water-insoluble.
All the alginate salts are insoluble to fats & oils and organic solvents.
