Glucamate™ VLT thickener is a vegetable-derived, highly effective associative thickener for mild surfactant formulations.

This versatile nonionic thickener is compatible with most ingredients used in today's liquid surfactant systems. Glucamate™ VLT thickener is ideally suited for formulating baby and elder-care products due to its ability to reduce the skin and eye irritation of many common surfactants. This thickener also provides luxurious sensory properties through the formation of a rich, creamy lather and a light, emollient afterfeel.
