A plant-based ingredient that can form gels when added to water, so it can thicken water-based products. Algin serves as a binding agent, where it helps hold the other ingredients in the product together and prevents them from separating.

Overview
Algin is a plant-based ingredient that functions as a viscosity controlling agent.
This ingredient can form gels when added to water, so it can thicken water-based products. Therefore, algin will also increase the thickness of emulsions.
In addition, algin serves as a binding agent, where it helps hold the other ingredients in the product together and prevents them from separating. As a result of this binding ability, algin can also stabilize emulsions.
