Emulsifier for Hair Dye: Suitability of Light Lotion Maker
Question
I want to buy an emulsifier for hair dye. Which one is suitable? Can I use Light Lotion Maker (Glyceryl Oleate Citrate (and) Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride)?
Answer
Emulsifier for Hair Dye
Regarding your question about using Light Lotion Maker as an emulsifier for hair dye, Light Lotion Maker (Glyceryl Oleate Citrate (and) Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride) is a high-performance emulsifier suitable for creating light lotions and sprays, capable of binding up to 40% oil and working in a pH range of 4-9. It can be used in both hot and cold processes.
While Light Lotion Maker is an effective emulsifier for many cosmetic applications, formulating hair dye can be complex. Permanent hair dyes, in particular, often involve high pH levels and specific chemical reactions that require emulsifiers designed to be stable and effective in such environments. The description for Light Lotion Maker does not specifically mention its suitability for hair dye formulations.
Therefore, while it might function as an emulsifier, it may not be the most suitable or stable choice for a permanent hair dye compared to emulsifiers specifically developed for hair coloring products. It is recommended to use emulsifiers known to be compatible with the specific chemicals and pH required for your hair dye formulation.
