Emulsifier conditioner, 50 g

Natural co-emulsifier and emulsion stabilizer

A modern multifunctional cosmetic ingredient based on stearamide that improves emulsion stability, supports the creation of a smooth creamy consistency and contributes to a pleasant, velvety skin feel.

What is it used for?

It is ideal for making a wide range of cosmetic products:

• facial creams
• facial milks
• body milks
• nourishing body creams
• hand creams
• sunscreen products
• hair conditioners
• hair masks
• leave-in hair care

How does it work?

It acts as an auxiliary emulsifier and stabilizer. It strengthens the emulsion structure, helps create a fine lamellar structure and gives products a pleasant thickness without a waxy or heavy feel. At the same time, it improves the sensory properties of the finished cosmetic product and makes it easier to spread over the skin.
