You’ve probably heard of Olivem 1000 or Emulsifying Wax NF, but what makes something a co-emulsifier instead? Let’s decode this.
Key Points:
- Emulsifiers hold oil and water together (e.g., Olivem 1000, Montanov 68)
- Co-emulsifiers support emulsifiers for texture or stability (e.g., Cetyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid)
- Choosing the right combination helps you create rich creams, light lotions, or fast-absorbing emulsions
- Know their phase (oil/water), melting point, and pH stability
