Actimulsi GA20
ACTIMULSI GA20 is a natural multifunctional bioactive derived from purified fractions of Acacia Senegal exudate.
INCI NAME
Acacia Senegal Gum Extract, Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate
Acacia Senegal
Acacia senegal is a leguminous tree native to sub-Saharan Africa. When subjected to some stress, the plant produces an exudate known as Acacia Gum. The gum is a complex mixture of polysaccharides with unique properties. It plays a multifaceted role in the plant’s life cycle, contributing to its defense, resource management, communication, and physical support. It is highly soluble in water, forming a viscous solution with excellent adhesive properties, good film-forming capacity, and stabilization of emulsions and foams. It is non-toxic and easily biodegradable, which makes it a natural ingredient with low environmental impact, with great potential for cosmetic applications that value the naturalness of formulas without loss of functionality and performance.
ACTIMULSI GA20 is a natural substitute for PEG-12 Dimethicone silicone.

Tidier hair & frizz-free
In a double-blind test in a beauty salon, volunteers with curly, frizzy, or damaged hair evaluated a shampoo with Actimulsi GA20 and a shampoo with PEG12-Dimethicone. The results showed that shampoo with Actimulsi GA20 is an excellent natural substitute to silicone for hair care. The polysaccharides present in Actimulsi GA20 form a film on the hair, which helps to detangle and make hair more tidy. Along the tests, the shampoo with Actimulsi GA20 was 23% higher rated than the shampoo with PEG12-Dimethicone.
Improves foam in shampoos
In a double-blind test in a beauty salon, evaluators concluded that the shampoo with Actimulsi GA20 produces 26% more foam than the placebo. Furthermore, the foam is 7% creamier, which provides more effective cleaning and a more pleasant sensation on the scalp.
ACTIMULSI GA20 (2%) x PEG-12 Dimethicone (1%)
Silky hair and smoother ends
The double-blind test showed that the 2% Actimulsi GA20 shampoo left hair 18% softer compared to PEG12-Dimethicone (1%). At the test, the shampoo with Actimulsi GA20 was also rated 23% better than PEG12-Dimethicone, leaving hair ends less rough.
