Emollients - Provide Softness and Sensorial Highlights

  EMOLLIENTS – Provide Softness and Sensorial Highlights

 

Emollients play a key role in cosmetic products for the creation of different sensorial profiles.
Today consumers of cosmetic products are looking for non sticky and non-greasy skin care products to achieve or maintain a smooth and supple skin. They want to have cosmetics that quickly absorb and leave little to no residue. Emollients play an important role in the sensorial profile of an emulsion. In modern cosmetic products they are characterized by their smoothing and softening effects to the skin. Depending on parameters like spreadability, polarity, viscosity and volatility, the skin feel of an emulsion can be adapted.
