Emulsifiers
For creams, lotions and gel-creams
Emulsifiers
O/W, W/O and cold-process emulsifiers, from olive-derived liquid-crystal systems to PEG-free polyglyceryls.
This collection currently holds 32 raw materials. Most materials ship in 50 g, 225 g, 1 Kg and 5 Kg packs. High-value absolutes, isolates, ceramides and peptides ship on a small-pack ladder of 10 g, 50 g, 100 g and 1 Kg. Every pack comes with a Certificate of Analysis, SDS and technical data sheet.
Every product page lists the INCI or technical name, the CAS number where one is assigned, ingredient family, source and feedstock, origin, typical form, solubility, recommended use level and pH window, addition phase, market status, storage, shelf life, the documentation supplied and a full regulatory note.
