GLYCERYL STEARATE CITRATE or PEG-100 STEARATE or BENYL ALCOHOL is designed specifically for oil in water (O/W) systems. This
Emulsifier can achieve stable emulsification effect, bring excellent product texture, and is highly compatible with various oils and fats. It is mainly used in lotion, face cream, moisturizing products, sunscreen and other skin care products. The green safety level is Level 1, which can ensure the safety and applicability of use in cosmetics formulations.
Applied to cosmetics
This emulsifier has excellent emulsifying properties, especially outstanding in stabilizing oil in water formulations. It can effectively stabilize various oils and fats, including vegetable oils, silicone oils, and ester oils, avoiding layering and oil separation in the formula. In addition, it also has a post thickening effect, which gradually increases the viscosity of the system during the cooling process of the product, so there is no need to add additional thickeners. This feature not only optimizes the texture of the product to achieve a smooth and non greasy state, but also makes the formula design particularly friendly for sensitive skin or dry skin specific products.
Precautions
This emulsifier can maintain high stability in product systems with pH values ranging from 4.5 to 8.5, and is suitable for the formulation requirements of most cosmetics. It has strong electrolyte resistance and is suitable for products containing active ingredients such as niacinamide and vitamin C derivatives. At the same time, it has good compatibility with various cosmetic ingredients, providing more flexibility for product formula design. However, it is best to avoid using it in combination with strong acidic substances or high concentration cationic surfactants, otherwise it may affect its emulsification effect and thickening performance.
