Emulsifier Plant HP30
Description
Plant HP30 Emulsifier – Biomimetic, Liquid Crystals, Moisturizing
Plant HP30 Emulsifier stands out due to its special affinity for the skin, adhering to the epidermal surface to provide a velvety effect, a luxurious feel, and long-lasting hydration. Thanks to its ability to generate liquid crystal networks and its tolerance across a broad pH range, it is an ideal choice for natural cosmetics designed for all skin types, particularly sensitive, reactive, or mature skin.
Ingredients (INCI): Glyceryl Stearate (and) Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate.
Technical Characteristics
- Emulsion Type: Oil-in-Water (O/W), anionic and non-ionic, HLB ~8
- Appearance: White waxy flakes, neutral odor.
- Optimal pH Range: 3.0 - 9.0
- Recommended Usage Dosage: 3% - 5%
Properties and Benefits
- Biomimetic Affinity: Due to a composition that mimics the natural lipid structure, the emulsifier adheres to amino acids in the stratum corneum, leaving a protective, velvety film on the skin.
- Liquid Crystals, Hydration: The generated lamellar structures trap water within the emulsion matrix and release it gradually, providing a deep and sustained moisturizing effect.
- Linear Viscosity Control: Offers high emulsifying power, with a linear viscosity response relative to the emulsifier concentration used (viscosity increases directly in proportion to the addition percentage).
- Sensory Profile: Features a medium to long play-time and a nourishing feel without leaving a greasy, waxy layer.
Applications
- Facial care: day and night moisturizing creams, creamy serums for sensitive, dry, or atopic skin.
