GELSHydrogels are becoming a major influence in personal care products today.
There is a need for hydrophilic, skin adhesive, biocompatible hydrogels that can be used in a variety of applications such as shampoo, hair setting gels, face masks, skin fresheners and scented gels (air fresheners). Currently there are numerous hydrogels on the market, ranging from viscous solutions to elastic solids. The reason for this recent interest is that hydrogels can act as moisturising agents and they can deliver numerous therapeutic ingredients in a controlled manner.
