A nonionic water-in-oil emulsifier and a stabilizer for oil-in-water systems. It is


stable and active over a broad pH range and is compatible with anionic, nonionic
and cationic surfactants. Used as a thickening agent, as an emulsifier it needs
neutralization.
Self- emulsifying, thru the incorporation of a small amount of potassium stearate.
It is an anionic oil-in-water emulsifier and opacifier for neutral and alkaline pH
systems. It is compatible with anionic and nonionic surfactants.

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.
Universal pre-blend emulsifier for all oil-in-water emulsions. Used in alkaline,
neutral and acid pH systems. It is compatible with anionic, cationic and nonionic
surfactants and has exceptional electrolyte tolerance (Antiperspirant products).
Can be combined with Liposorbs or Lipopegs to extend its effective
emulsification range. Stabilizes hydrogen peroxide formulations (ex: hair
lighteners) & acid pH products (glycolic acid, salicylic acid, DHA).
Naturally derived from canola oil. A multi-functional oil-soluble emulsifier,
solubilizer and dispersant for creams and lotions. Imparts lubricity to emulsions
and is an effective bath oil emollient and spreading agent.

Primarily a monoester, nonionic emulsion stabilizer for both water-in-oil & oil-inwater systems. Compatible with nonionic, anionic and cationic surfactants. Used
for viscosity building, opacifying, pearlizing in creams/lotions, shampoos,
conditioners and in both liquid & bar soaps.
Primarily a diester, nonionic emulsion stabilizer for both water-in-oil & oil-inwater systems. Compatible with nonionic, anionic and cationic surfactants. Used
for viscosity building, opacifying, slightly greater pearlizing effect in
creams/lotions, shampoos, conditioners and in both liquid & bar soaps.
Compatible with anionic, cationic & nonionics. Used as an emulsion stabilizer, a
thickener, opacifier, for distinct pearl formation and imparts a creamy feel to
emulsions in hair & skin care products.
