What is Veegum R (Aluminium Magnesium Silicate) EP Grade
Veegum R is a refined, colloidal aluminium magnesium silicate that meets EP (European Pharmacopoeia) standards, ensuring consistent quality and performance for regulated applications. It is widely recognised for its ability to improve product stability, enhance viscosity, and prevent ingredient separation. With its fine particle size and high surface area, Veegum R delivers superior hydration and gel-forming capabilities in aqueous systems.
This multifunctional ingredient is particularly valued for its compatibility with a wide range of actives and formulation systems. It acts as both a suspending and stabilising agent, reducing sedimentation in liquid formulations and improving texture in creams and lotions. Its natural origin and inert chemical nature make it suitable for sensitive applications where performance and safety are critical.

Applications & Functionalities
Veegum R is used extensively to enhance formulation stability and performance across multiple industries. In pharmaceutical suspensions, it helps maintain uniform dispersion of active ingredients, ensuring consistent dosing and improved shelf life. In personal care formulations, it provides thickening, stabilisation, and improved sensory feel in products such as creams, lotions, and masks. Additionally, Veegum R functions as an excellent emulsifying aid, supporting oil-in-water systems and preventing phase separation. Its rheology-modifying properties allow formulators to control viscosity and flow behaviour, making it easier to achieve desired textures and product performance. It also contributes to improved suspension of insoluble materials, making it ideal for products requiring long-term stability.
