CO-EMULSIFIER FOR O/W & W/O
Creating natural emulsions with a luxurious skin-feel is a challenging task. Sisterna sucrose esters are excellent natural co-emulsifiers for both oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) skin care emulsions. Furthermore Sisterna sucrose esters provide an excellent touch and improve smoothness, emolliency and moisture level of the skin.
O/W emsulsions
Sisterna sucrose esters with a high HLB value are recommended for the development of O/W emulsions.
W/O emulsions
Sisterna sucrose esters with a low HLB value are recommended for the development of W/O emulsions.
Benefits
O/W emulsions
-
For both traditional as lamellar liquid crystal emulsions
- Good emulsification properties with oils of different polarity
- Excellent skin feel
-
Improve skin smoothness, emolliency and moisturization
-
Provide a cooling effect
W/O emulsions
-
Improve spreading properties
-
Eliminate oily/greasy feel typical of W/O
-
Making W/O formulations comparable to O/W emulsions
-
Very effective in the presence of high level of powders
O/W emulsions : 1-3% Sisterna SP70-C or Sisterna PS750-CW/O emulsions : 1-2% Sisterna SP01-C or Sisterna SP10-C
