These contain the whole tween range and polysorbate along with other emulsifiers. Few prominent synthetic emulsifiers are derivatives of two broad categories which are Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) or Polypropylene Glycol (PPG). However, there are some emulsifiers that cannot be categorised in a natural or organic group. Similarly, other emulsifiers such as ‘cetearyl olivate’ which is extracted from olive oil has to go through chemical reactions. Even the most natural emulsifier like lecithin needs to go through processes like extraction, separation, and processing until and unless it becomes the lecithin that we apply. Natural has a wide scope of meaning, hence it can be quite confusing. We have prepared an extensive list on the key points you could go through before considering which emulsifier suits you the best. Things to Keep in Mind before choosing an Emulsifierīefore choosing an emulsifier, there are certain points that one should consider. There are chances that some of them may cause irritation when applied. The emulsifiers should be used with great care. Oil in water emulsions are mostly used for lightweight cosmetic products. For instance, the water in oil emulsions are used in night creams, body lotion and sunscreen. Both the types of emulsions oil in water and water in oil are very essential in the cosmetic industry. The first emulsifier used in the cosmetic industry was probably the usage of beeswax by the Ancient Greeks, which till present is used due to its emulsifying and hydrating properties. The cosmetic products require ingredients like essential oil and water to be mixed, which cannot be achieved without an emulsion.Įmulsifiers have been used in the cosmetic industry for a very long time. The cosmetic industry that includes creams, lotions and serums are nothing else but emulsions. These emulsions are quite thick and greasy in nature. On the other hand, a water in oil (W/O) emulsifier has ultra fine water droplets in fatty base ingredients. This type of emulsion is more of a liquid form, quite similar to milk or a body lotion. The oil in water (O/W) emulsifier is droplets of oil suspended in aqueous base. There are two major categories of emulsifiers which are as follows: The mixture created is a homogeneous blend with equal proportions of the constituents. Emulsifier is a blend of water and oil that are mixed together.
Natural emulsifiers are known as one of the most adaptable forms of ingredients used to create a wide range of skincare, hair care and personal care formulations.
