Emulsifier - ERCAWAX CE V (Glyceryl Stearate Citrate INCI: Glyceryl Stearate Citrate) from 2 kg

Emulsifier - ERCAWAX CE V (Glyceryl Stearate Citrate INCI: Glyceryl Stearate Citrate)

Description: a  combination of mono - / distearate glycerol and esters of mono - and diglycerides of citric acid.

Origin: synthetic

Appearance: White or milky white flakes

Solubility: oils, partially soluble in water

Class: Self - emulsifying anionic base, especially suitable for O / W emulsions.

HLB: 12

Country: Italy

Functional

Self - emulsifying anionic base, especially suitable for oil - in - water emulsions.

The high HLB value and the anionic nature make ERCAWAX CE V an ideal co - emulsifier. It fills the gaps between the molecules of other emulsifiers (of various structures) in the interfacial tension at the water - oil interface.

ERCAWAX CE V is especially suitable for emulsification with oil components of different polarity. When using oils with a higher polarity, to prevent separation of emulsions, it is recommended to use higher dosages of ERCAWAX CE V.

ERCAWAX CE V can also be used to stabilize emulsions containing surfactants that would otherwise destabilize emulsions. Also has a mild cleansing effect. In some cases, especially when surfactants cannot be thickened with sodium chloride, ERCAWAX CE V can improve the viscosity in emulsions and cleansing products. This effect depends on the level of dissociation of citrate and will be optimal at a slightly acidic pH, which corresponds to most cosmetics. So, at pH 5.5, the addition of 2% ERCAWAX CE V can improve the texture of the product.

Safety:

In a study published in the International Journal of Toxicology in 2007, it was concluded that in practice, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate is safe as a cosmetic ingredient in the concentration described in this assessment (up to 5% ). "

Applied in:

- creams,

- masks,

- lotions,

- serum,

- hair products,

- shaving foams,

- deodorants

Main function: Emulsifier, stabilizer, rheology modifier, emollient

Usage: Add the flakes to the hot oil phase (about 80 ° C) and stir until smooth. Combine then with the hot aqueous phase.

Input: 0.5 - 4.0%

Storage: If stored at temperatures below 35 ° C in a place protected from moisture in its original sealed packaging, the product retains its characteristics for at least 18 months.
