Suspending and Thickening Agents
Imagine your favourite syrup maintaining its consistency without settling, or your shampoo having the perfect viscosity for an indulgent lather. Suspending agents ensure uniform distribution of particles, preventing settling over time. On the other hand, thickening agents provide the desired texture, turning a runny liquid into a luxurious gel or cream.
