Basic emulsifier which needs to be neutralized with TEA, NaOh. Used in alkaline,
neutral and acid pH systems. Compatible with anionic, cationic and nonionic
surfactants. Can be combined with Lipocols, Liposorbs or Lipopegs to extend its
effective emulsification range. Used in all forms of skin & hair care products.
A special blend of non-ionic surfactants designed to simplify emulsion
formulating. Forms liquid crystal structures that serve to greatly increase long
term emulsion stability as well as stability at elevated temperatures. Imparts an
elegant, long lasting soft skin feel that is pleasant to the touch. Forms stable
emulsions over a broad pH range from pH 3-12.
