NIKOO GEL – Water‑Soluble Hydrating Gel for Silky Texture, Oil Control & Pore Refinement
A transparent, cage‑structured glyceryl polymethacrylate gel – locks in moisture, improves skin lubricity, regulates sebum, and visibly tightens pores. Perfect for clear cosmetics and sensitive skin formulas.
Product Overview:
NIKOO GEL is a multifunctional, water‑soluble gel designed to enhance the sensory and performance profile of skincare products. Its key ingredient, glyceryl polymethacrylate, forms a unique cage‑like molecular structure that traps water molecules. This provides:
-
Long‑lasting hydration – holds moisture and reduces TEWL.
-
Excellent lubricity – gives a smooth, silky slip without greasiness.
-
Oil‑water balance – helps regulate sebum production and tighten pores.
-
Transparent elegance – ideal for crystal‑clear gels, serums, and eye treatments.
NIKOO GEL acts as both a water‑based humectant and an oil‑like emollient, making it a versatile “moisture balancer” that improves skin feel, stabilises emulsions, and enhances product spreadability.
