Glyceryl Stearate & PEG 100 Palm Free Emulsifier

MAY BE IN FLAKE OR PELLET FORM

Glyceryl Stearate (and) PEG-100 Stearate is a very versatile non-ionic oil-in-water emulsifier that creates silky smooth, ultra-light emulsions.  The blend is 50-50% each.  It is more of an emulsifier than a thickener.

We recommend using in combination with consistency-providing substances for the formation of viscosity-enhancing liquid crystalline structures in the external water phase.   Cetyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol or Stearyl Alcohol.  These consistency enhancers form together with the emulsifier lamellar networks in the water phase. The viscosity of the external phase is increased and the emulsion stability is improved.

Perfume, temperature-sensitive substances or electrolyte containing ingredients should be added at 35 - 45 °C. Neutralization of the emulsion is completed at approx. 35 °C

Usage rate: 1 - 5%.
