EUMULGIN SG

DESCRIPTION: Eumulgin SG is an Oil-in-Water anionic, amino acid emulsifier with excellent activity at low dosages. It is very versatile in formulations; it is both cold processable and hot processable, can be added to the water phase of the oil phase, with exceptional viscosity modification at very low use rates (Although heated phases are best since they promote lamellar gels). It forms lamellar liquid crystals emulsions structures – which is special because of its affinity to the skin. Lamellar liquid crystal emulsions are known to facilitate better skin penetration.

It has a strong electrolyte tolerance, as previously mentioned. It is compatibility with organic and inorganic electrolytes, (such as Aloe Vera, UV filters, hydrolyzed proteins, other electrolyte actives, etc, and can hold up to 2% sodium chloride.

Eumulgin SG enhances the stability of emulsions by supporting the formation of small droplets. It is also hypoallergenic, suitable for sensitive skin types and baby care.

BENEFITS

• Excellent viscosity modification at low use ratesLow irritation compared to some anionic emulsifiers
• Easy to disperse
• Hypoallergenic Co-Emulsifier (Pair with high HLB emulsifying blends like Lotion Pro 165, Olivem 1000, or Silky Wax, etc.)
• Forms lamellar crystal emulsions
• Moisturizing
• Exhibits a silky-after skin feel
• It as a strong electrolyte tolerance
• Can be used to make pure amino acid cleansers. In such formulas, it is easy to get a pasty gel.
