For all formulators using stress-inducing ingredients, SepiMAX™ ZEN is the perfect ingredient to serenely for aqueous gels, cream-gels, and emulsions.
Emulsion stabilizer
Stable emulsions are fundamental for the quality and performance of personal care products. Yet they are among your most challenging formulation tasks. Emulsion stabilizers must create stable, long-lasting emulsions with an incredibly diverse range of ingredients.
Emulsion stabilizers help improve the overall consumer experience. Today, chemistry offers the broadest range of ingredients for use as co-emulsifiers and stabilizers in personal care products. The cutting-edge chemistries meet emerging requirements for mildness, flexibility, ease of use, and consumer-pleasing sensory attributes.
The selection of emulsifiers and the development of stabilization solutions that build quality into your personal care formulations help reduce your developmental costs and speed up the product’s time to market.
Over fifty years ago, a scientist from Atlas Powder Company developed the HLB system – one of the industry’s most valuable emulsion formulation tools still used worldwide today. Today, the industry has the broadest range of chemistries for emulsification and emulsion stabilization effects, with a range of ingredients that can be tailored to meet the needs of the formulations.Sodium Carbomer is a sodium salt of carboxy vinyl polymer, a white hygroscopic powder. It is a synthetic pre-neutralized polymer used as a thickener, suspending agent, and emulsion stabilizer in personal care products.
Sodium polyacrylate is a polymer with high sensorial precision. It enables maximum accuracy in the composition of skin care formulations, facilitates good spreadability, and leaves behind a highly light and pleasant skin feel.
Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate is a highly versatile polymer that performs various functions in both leave-on and rinse-off hair care applications. This polymer is used in styling aids and deep cleansing shampoos.
Soyamide DEA is a 1:1 amide based on soybean oil and diethanolamine. It is a clear, yellow liquid soluble in water.
Starch Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride is a naturally derived cationic polysaccharide produced from food-grade potato starch that has not been genetically modified and is free of environmentally toxic residues.
Stearamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate is a multi-functional phospholipid and diester phosphatide with multiple long-chain groups derived from pure natural palm oil.
A white, waxy natural fatty acid that comes from vegetable fats and oils. It helps to emulsify, thicken, bind, and stabilize lotions and creams.
Stearyl alcohol is a saturated aliphatic fatty alcohol of non-animal origin. It is widely used to emulsify, stabilize and opacify emulsions.
Syner-GX is a mixture of guar gum and xanthan gum. The 100% natural thickener stabilizes formulations and imparts the skin a soft and gentle feel. A study shows that this complex possesses better thickening properties than xanthan gum or guar gum alone.
Xanthan gum is a natural carbohydrate gum produced by a yeast-like micro-organism. It has soothing properties and is used as an emulsifier and thickener to help with the consistency and stability of creams.
