Description
Glyceryl diester made of glycerin and fatty acids derived from vegetable oils. Acts as hydrophilic, PEG-free, anionic o/w emulsifier and emollient. Well suited for emulsions with a slightly acidic pH-value or emulsions with UV filters. HLB value 12 (gives oil-in-water emulsions).
Benefits
- Potent emulsifier for making o/w emulsions
- Supports the consistency and the oil binding capacity and can also be used as co-emulsifier for PEG-free formulations
- Provides a soft and smooth appearance on the skin and can be used also for sensitive skin
Use
Add pellets to the hot oil phase (approx. 80oC / 176oF) and stir until homogeneous. Combine then with hot water phase. Typical use level 1.5-2.5%. Stable emulsions from pH 5.5 – 8.0. For external use only.
