Ritamulse is my favourite emusifier. It is easy to work with and has a wonderful skin feel. However, it has to be « fresh » because with time it tends to give products a kind of « non slip » feel difficult to describe. I am not sure why it does this but I think it’s because the product is too old.
The MSDS says that the melting point is <50°C but the information you provided says that the melting point is at 81.1°C. Could you please explain this . Thanks°
