Chemical
Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate (PGPH)

Non-ionic polymeric W/O emulsifier of vegetable origin.

Properties

High water-binding capacity in inverted emulsions, ideal for barrier and baby protection creams.

Chemical
Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Anionic, PEG-free O/W emulsifier composed of glycerol, stearic, and citric acids.

Properties

Produces stable, skin-compatible emulsions with a light, velvety, non-sticky finish.

Chemical
Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate

Non-ionic polyoxyethylene sorbitol tetraoleate surfactant.

Properties

The gold-standard emulsifier for transforming cleansing oils that rinse milky-white with water.

Chemical
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil (ERCAWAX HCO 40)

Non-ionic ethoxylated vegetable derivative of hydrogenated castor oil.

Properties

Superior solubilizer for essential oils, fragrances, and lipophilic vitamins in toners and gels.

Chemical
Polyglyceryl-6 Oleate

Natural polyglycerol ester with high hydrophilic-lipophilic balance.

Properties

Excellent natural solubilizer and mild secondary surfactant for micellar cleansing solutions.

Chemical
Glyceryl Stearate SE (ERCAWAX GMS SE / Imex GMS 40 SE)

Self-emulsifying glyceryl monostearate containing a small percentage of sodium stearate.

Properties

Forms instant stable emulsions without requiring auxiliary emulsifiers.

Chemical
PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate

Hydrophilic ethoxylated branched ester surfactant.

Properties

Industry benchmark solubilizer for clear cleansing balms and water-rinseable oil cleansers.

Chemical
PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil (ERCAWAX HCO 60)

High-HLB ethoxylated castor oil solubilizer.

Properties

Provides exceptional clarity when solubilizing complex lipophilic fragrances and essential 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.
