Nexagel™ LC-G

KimiKa, LLC (Formerly Cosphatech)

Nexagel™ LC-G is a gelling agent made from phospholipids that also acts as an emulsifier, designed to produce gel-cream textures with a luxurious feel on the skin. Due to the unique chemical and biological properties of phospholipids, Nexagel™ LC-G can deliver active benefits such as moisturizing effects and enhance the effectiveness of other active ingredients by improving their skin penetration and bioavailability. Phospholipids, sourced from plants like soybeans and sunflower seeds, have been utilized in the cosmetic industry for decades as natural, skin-friendly emulsifiers. Their molecular structure consists of a water-attracting (hydrophilic) head and two fat-attracting (lipophilic) tails, which contribute to their emulsifying abilities. By combining the emulsifying properties of phospholipids with the gelling properties of a copolymer, Nexagel™ LC-G has been created.
