Clariant Aristoflex™ AVL is a cationic acrylate copolymer thickener designed for acidic (pH 2.5-5.5) and high-salt (≤20% NaCl) cosmetic formulations. Its charge-shielding polymer structure builds viscosity through hydrophobic associations, creating shear-thinning rheology without tackiness. The cold-processable liquid provides instant thickening in surfactant systems while maintaining clarity in transparent gels. Particularly effective in sulfate-free cleansing products and low-pH serums, it meets ECOCERT standards with 100% renewable carbon content
