Chemical
Cetearyl Olivate (and) Sorbitan Olivate

Biomimetic non-ionic O/W emulsifier derived completely from natural olive chemistry.

Properties

Self-emulsifying base that forms liquid-crystalline lamellar structures that mimic skin lipids.

Chemical
Polysorbate 60 (ERCASORB MSE / Tween 60)

Non-ionic polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate emulsifier (HLB 14.9).

Properties

Works in synergy with sorbitan esters to formulate stable, elegant lotion and cream emulsions.

Chemical
Sorbitan Monostearate (ERCASORB MS / Span 60)

Lipophilic non-ionic surfactant esterified from sorbitol and stearic acid (HLB 4.7).

Properties

Low-HLB co-emulsifier that pairs with polysorbate 60 to build thick, stable cream matrices.

Chemical
Sorbitan Sesquioleate (ERCASORB SQ / Crill 43)

Lipophilic non-ionic liquid emulsifier derived from oleic acid and sorbitol (HLB 3.7).

Properties

Superior water-in-oil (W/O) emulsifier for rich ointments, barrier pastes, and mineral makeup.

Chemical
Polysorbate 20 (ERCASORB MLE / Tween 20)

Ethoxylated sorbitan monolaurate non-ionic hydrophilic surfactant (HLB 16.7).

Properties

Superior solubilizer for dispersing essential oils and fragrance oils into clear aqueous systems.

Chemical
Polysorbate 80 (ERCASORB MOE / Tween 80)

Non-ionic oleate-based hydrophilic solubilizer and emulsifier (HLB 15.0).

Properties

Versatile solubilizer for heavy hydrophobic vitamins, UV filters, and lipophilic actives.

Chemical
Sorbitan Palmitate (Span 40)

Lipophilic non-ionic surfactant esterified from sorbitol and palmitic acid (HLB 6.7).

Properties

Low-HLB co-emulsifier that pairs with polysorbates to create stable dual-phase networks.

Chemical
Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate

100% natural, palm-free water-in-oil (W/O) emulsifier derived from sunflower and olive oils.

Properties

Creates rich, cold-processable W/O emulsions and luxurious cleansing oils.

Surfactants

Surface-active agents, detergents, and co-surfactants for cleansing and emulsion stability.

Anionic, amphoteric, and non-ionic surface-active agents characterized by charge, CMC values, foam kinetics, and HLB balance for cleansing systems and emulsification.
