 EMULSIFIERS – Guarantee Stable Formulations and Pleasant Skin Feel

 

A widely-used type of personal care formulations are emulsions found in skin care, sun care, body care and color cosmetics. Emulsifiers are the most important ingredients in order to guarantee stable emulsions.

Beyond this basic requirement, emulsifiers have a remarkable influence on the sensorial skin feel depending on their composition and the way they are formulated. By changing the emulsifier, the formulator can tailor attributes like texture, appearance, pick-up and the distribution of an emulsion. All these attributes have an impact, especially on the initial skin feel. Following the needs of our customers, we have recently expanded our portfolio with COSMOS approved ingredients.
