Description

Inci: Glyceryl Oleate, Polyglyceryl-3-polyricinoleate, Olea Europaea Oil Unsaponifiables
Recommended concentration: 3-5% with the addition of % salt NaCl (2%), MgSO4 (0.8%)

APPLICATION:

  • Intensive hydration creams
  • Creams for sensitive skin, night creams, milks and body lotions
  • After-sun care products, waterproof creams
  • Baby care products

ECOMULS 2 IN 1 is 100% plant-based, GMO-free, based on natural glycerides and olive oil. These active ingredients ensure ECOMULS 2 IN 1’s high emulsifying effect and exceptional hydration. Very environmentally friendly, this non-ionic emulsifier can create stable W/O emulsions of low concentration, without co-emulsifiers and thickeners.

The main parameters control stable emulsification performance:

  • Composition of the oil phase
  • % oil phase
  • Addition and % of salt, used: NaCl (2%), MgSO4 (0.8%)
  • % emulsifier (from 3 to 5%)
  • Process: high-speed mixing (hot process) + final homogenization

How to work with ECOMULS 2 In 1?

Hot process:

  • The salt is added to the aqueous phase at room temperature.
  • Ecomuls 2 in 1 is added to the oil phase at room temperature.
  • Heat the two phases separately to 70°C.
  • At room temperature, add the water phase slowly to the oil phase while mixing at high speed using a standard mixer propeller.
  • Once you have an emulsion, homogenize it.
  • Cool to room temperature while stirring slowly.
  • Add the sensitive phase (active substances, perfumes, preservatives, etc.) below 40°C.
  • At the end of the process, homogenize again.
  • The main parameters that control stable emulsification performance (hot process):

Adding salt to the aqueous phase: MgSO4.7H2O (0.8%) or NaCl (2%)

  • % emulsifier – from 3% to 5%
  • Composition of the oil phase: excellent affinity with plant emollients (vegetable oils, etc.)
  • Recommended % oil phase: 15% (higher final viscosity) to 35% (lower final viscosity).
  • Homogenization at the end of the process
