Emulsifier for milk, lotion and fluid cream - Recognized by organic labels 50g

Description:
Natural emulsifier specifically developed for the manufacture of milks and lotions

It is recognized by the organic cosmetic labels

You will use it to obtain a very fine and stable lotion.

Properties :
- Oil-in-water" emulsifier.

Indications:
- Ideal for making body lotion, lotions or creams fluid.

Use:
Melt the emulsifier into the oil phase of the preparation (oil and oil-soluble ingredients: waxes and butters will determine the fluidity). The recommended dosage is 1 to 5% in the oil phase

The aqueous phase is also heated (distilled water), hydrolat... and water-soluble ingredients: the addition of xanthan gum is recommended as an additional stability factor) at around 60°. The two phases are mixed together while stirring vigorously with a small whisk.

At the end of the preparation, add 1 to 3% ofessential oil as needed.

The addition of a natural antioxidant (vitamin E tocopherol) and a natural preservative (potassium sorbate) is required.

Composition:
C14-22 Alkyl alcohol, C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside.

General tips for making a successful emulsion :
Use sterilized pots and utensils
- Weigh the ingredients separately
- Heat the water phase and the oil phase separately in a water bath (around 60°C)
- When the oil phase is well melted, whisk lightly to make the mixture more homogeneous (incorporating the emulsifier and, depending on the recipe, cocoa butter, milk, etc.) beeswax...)
- If you have added ingredients such as urea or xanthan gum, stir to make the water phase more homogeneous
- Then pour the aqueous phase slowly and progressively into the oily phase (water-in-oil emulsion) or vice versa (oil-in-water emulsion), whisking continuously until the preparation cools down and a consistency of cream whipped.
- When the temperature of the cream drops to 40°, you can add the last additions (essential oilsvitamin E, preservative...). Whisk.

The two types of emulsion

There are two types of emulsion. O/W emulsions (oil-in-water) and W/O emulsions (water-in-oil). Depending on the type of emulsion, a cream behaves differently on the skin. O/W (oil-in-water) emulsions are characterized by small spheres of water caught in the middle of a continuous oil phase. They are typically protective creams. O/W emulsions are characterized by small spheres of oil trapped in the middle of a continuous aqueous phase. They are easily removed by rinsing. They are typically nourishing creams, with a large aqueous phase that hydrates the skin and a small oily phase that nourishes it.

Be careful! The ratio between the water phase and the oil phase does not determine the type of emulsion (a cream with 40% oil phase and 60% water phase can be an O/W emulsion as well as a W/O emulsion). Only the nature of the emulsifier should be taken into account. 40% oil phase and 60% water phase seems to be a good average for a light and smooth cream. For very dry skin, it is perfectly possible to reverse this ratio.

Packaging:
50 grams, in its white pot.
