Question

Could you please recommend natural emulsifiers that can be used in cosmetic formulations?

Answer

Natural Emulsifiers

Several natural emulsifiers are available for use in cosmetic formulations:

  • Emulsifying Beeswax (Non-Ionic, Natural): This is a 100% natural emulsifier and thickener suitable for creams, balms, and ointments. It works well for dry skin and in formulas with a pH range of 3.0-10.0.
  • Sucrose Cream Maker™: A 100% natural-based, nonionic O/W emulsifier containing sucrose esters. It creates stable emulsions with a light, non-oily, silky skinfeel and has good electrolyte compatibility.
  • LeciCream™ (Natural Emulsifier / Cream Maker): A natural emulsifier made from special grade Hydrogenated Lecithin. It is suitable for creating heavier creams.
  • Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate: A 100% natural O/W emulsifier that creates a lamellar structure, providing a good texture suitable for sensitive skin.
  • Polyglyceryl-10 Palmitate: Another emulsifier with an HLB of about 14, suitable for mixing in the oil phase.

These options provide various properties and textures for your natural cosmetic formulations.
