VEEGUM® Magnesium Aluminum Silicate products are water-washed smectite clays that serve as suspension stabilizers, emulsion optimizers and rheology modifiers. For assistance selecting the best grade for your formulation, see the VEEGUM/VANATURAL Quick Reference.

VEEGUM® EZ

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate

A unique acidic smectite clay that produces dispersions in the 4.2 - 5.2 pH range for optimum compatibility with the naturally acidic pH of the skin.

VANATURAL® CA

Bentonite clay

A unique acidic smectite clay that produces low pH dispersions for optimum compatibility with the naturally acidic pH of the skin.

VEEGUM® R

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate

The original and most widely used grade, VEEGUM® R is used in a variety of pharmaceutical, personal care products, animal care, and agri-science applications.

VEEGUM® HV

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate

Provides excellent emulsion and suspension stability at low use levels.

VEEGUM® K

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate

Provides good suspension at low viscosity while having low acid demand and high electrolyte and acid compatibility. This grade is well suited for acidic pH pharmaceutical suspensions and hair care formulas containing conditioning agents.

VEEGUM® HS

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate

Provides maximum electrolyte stability and minimum acid demand. It is used in pharmaceutical suspensions, hair care formulas, and facemasks. Its relatively low viscosity contribution allows it to be used at levels high enough to enhance skin cleansing.

VEEGUM® Ultra

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate

A unique acidic smectite clay that produces dispersions in the 4.2 - 5.2 pH range for optimum compatibility with the naturally acidic pH of the skin. VEEGUM® Ultra is the easiest of all the grades to hydrate and has a uniquely white color.

VEEGUM® D

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate

This dental care grade ensures a stable and short paste or gel with excellent brush stand-up, flavor release and rinseability. It works synergistically with organic gum binders, allowing the fine-tuning of dentifrice properties with minimal inhibition of fluoride recovery.

VEEGUM® Pure

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate

This general-purpose grade complies with the standards for ecological and organic cosmetics. VEEGUM® Pure is OMRI, ECOCERT Greenlife and COSMOS listed.

VANATURAL® MC

Bentonite clay

A rapidly hydrating, water-washed bentonite clay. VANATURAL MC is a pure and natural suspension stabilizer, emulsion optimizer and rheology modifier for all topical products. VANATURAL MC is tightly controlled for microbiology.
