Emulsifier
Emulsifiers are the workhorses of the cosmetic industry. They are responsible for consistency and stability but also influence important sensory and dermatologic properties of modern skin care formulations. They offer broad emollient compatibility with efficient oil emulsification and high emulsion stability.
Emulsions that spread well and have an excellent skin feel are easily formulated. Combinations of these emulsifiers are also shown to offer additional dermatological values, such as skin-firming and smoothing properties and anti-wrinkling effects.
The wide use of ethoxylated emulsifiers in cosmetics is occasionally questioned due to dermatological and environmental factors. Emulsifiers derived from all-natural sources are entirely vegetable-based alternatives to ethoxylates, based on renewable raw materials, and have been shown to be non-irritating/sensitizing in human repeat insult patch tests.
Vegetable-based emulsifiers are usually food-grade and based on natural renewable raw materials for o/w, w/o, and w/o/w cosmetic creams and lotions. They enable the formulation of high-quality and beneficial skin care formulations with safe ingredients. They can be used to formulate w/o, o/w, and w/o/w multiple emulsions for cosmetic and dermatologic formulations.PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate is an emollient and solubilizer for oils and lipophilic (oil-soluble) ingredients in water-based mild cleansing formulations, such as makeup removers, cleansers, and shampoos, derived from natural raw material (coconut oil).
