Emulsifiers & Surfactants
OLEAMULS® W/S is a 100% plant derived “hydrophilic lipid” with adjustable HLB values.
It represents a natural alternative to common PEG refatting agents and co-emulsifiers.
OLEAMULS® W/S possesses very interesting characteristics as an O/W emulsifier and a co-emulsifier for W/O emulsions. When added to vegetable oils or esters, it strengthens the defenses of the hydrolipidic film; it decreases TEWL and it leaves a pleasant sensation of freshness on the skin.
It has been proven that liquid crystal emulsions moisturize the epidermis and protect it by reducing TEWL
