E-Wax

LIPOWAX PA is a preparation of higher fatty alcohols and represents an emulsifier of the self-bodying type. LIPOWAX PA produces thick, solid emulsions without the addition of stiffening waxes, even at concentrations as low as 5%, although 10% may provide superior stability. LIPOWAX PA emulsions show excellent stability in both acid and base media. Stable emulsions with a pH as low as 3 or as high as 13 can be produced. LIPOWAX PA is compatible with anionic, cationic and nonionic systems, making it a truly versatile product. LIPOWAX PA differs significantly from older type self-emulsifying waxes, in that its oil-inwater emulsifying properties are not derived from the presence of auxiliary anionic surfactants of the soap (sulfonated oil or sulfated fatty alcohol type) or from alkalies, gums, etc. Unlike some emulsifying waxes, LIPOWAX PA does not deteriorate on heating, experiencing only a slight alteration in color at temperatures up to 150-152°C for two hours. Under these severe conditions, it may lose 2-3% in weight with slight hardening of the wax.

EmulPro

EmulPro® is a self-emulsifying blend of Glyceryl Monostearate and Polyoxyethylene Stearate. It forms highly stable emulsions with excellent appearance and feel.


EmulPro® offers excellent stability for those formulations that have stability issues, such as Catalyst VI products, and emulsions with a very high oil content (e.g. 25%). Few emulsifiers can offer product stability with the incorporation of a relatively high acid content (such as AHAs and BHAs). EmulPro® does this with ease.


EmulPro®’s advanced stability and low usage rate make it a highly desirable and cost effective emulsifier blend for your formulations.

Myristyl Myristate

A 100% natural, vegetable derived ester to use as a co-emulsifier which will help you create lotions and creams with a silky, rich feel and a dry after feel. Soluble in cyclomethicone it performs as an excellent superfatting agent and thickener.

• Provides a pleasant medium, soft & substantive feel as well as an excellent dry after-feel to lotions.

• It performs as an excellent emulsion enhancer by imparting body and a white opacifying effect.
  

• May also be used as a opacifier to give your creams and lotions a whiter appearance.

NatureMulse

NatureMulse™ improves moisturization, skin feel, and water resistance in your formulations! In clinical studies, it was found that lactylates remain on the skin, performing their moisturizing functions for more than six weeks under conditions of wash & wear!


NatureMulse™ is compatible with all types and classes of ingredients! Based on Acyl Lactylates, which are wonderful for both skin and hair, anionic Lactylates are created through a reaction between the acyl group of fatty acids, and Lactic Acid (See our Lactic Acid page for details). Both Fatty Acids and Lactic Acid are natural moisturizing factor constituents found in skin! Wonderful viscosity enhancement, improved stability, and conditioning all-in-one!


NatureMulse™ is a complete & balanced self-emulsifier blend that will impart a soft, conditioned after-feel in your lotions and creams. NatureMulse™ emulsions can be prepared easily by incorporating NatureMulse in the oil phase and then heating it and the water phase separately to 70-80°C. Once the two phases reach this temperature, the water phase is added to the oil phase in a thin stream using mechanical agitation. The emulsion is then stirred down to a temperature above the solidification point of the cream (to 30°C for a lotion). These emulsions are very stable, easy spreading systems, but can be homogenized if desired. A preservative should always be added to protect against bacterial growth. Because NatureMulse is partially composed of Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, it should be used at a pH of 5 or above to ensure long term stability. TECH TIP:: For more complex formulations, we find that the addition of 1% EZ-THIX (PEG 150 Distearate) stabilizes the emulsion well.
