Description

What makes the EMU 375 unique?

  • Fast emulsifier
    • Liquid form allows for quick and easy application
    • Fast production process, compatible with cold processes
    • Fast absorption on the skin
  • Light emulsifier
    • Creates light and airy textures
    • Suitable for various formulations: from light sprays to rich creams
    • Leaves a pleasant, nourishing finish
  • Natural emulsifier
    • Pure anionic U/W emulsifier
    • 100% natural origin (ISO 16128)
    • It enables sustainable production processes with energy and resource savings

Why is EMU 375 crucial for formulators?

Technical capabilities

  • Can be used as a main or auxiliary emulsifier
  • Emulsifies up to 35% of the oil phase, regardless of the polarity of the oil

Flexible production process

  • Suitable for cold, hot and combined processes
  • Can be added before, during or after emulsification

Various textures

  • Liquid formulations – sprays and serums
  • Gel textures – refreshing lotions
  • Creamy formulations – rich creams and butters
  • Anhydrous formats – oils, solid products

How is it produced?

EMU 375 is obtained by esterification of natural ingredients:

  • Sunflower oil
  • Fermented glucose from sugar beet/cane
  • Fermented corn
  • Rapeseed oil

Action in formulations

Forms multilamellar vesicles

  • High content of unsaturated fatty acids (linoleic and oleic acid) essential for skin health
  • It improves the penetration of active ingredients and accelerates absorption

Viscosity regulation

  • It does not create significant viscosity on its own, but allows for different textures
  • In combination with appropriate gelling agents, it can create stable emulsions with varying degrees of density.

Emulsifying power

EMU 375 can emulsify 5 – 20% oil phase in cold and hot processes. Above 20% oil phase, it is recommended to use 3 – 4% EMU 375 with the addition of 1 – 1.5% fatty alcohol (tested up to 35% oil phase) (Lanette 16)

Compatibility and stability

  • Preservatives – no known incompatibilities, but sensitive to organic acids
  • With UV filters – compatible with soluble and dispersible UV filters
  • With pigments – compatible with titanium dioxide (TiO₂), zinc oxide (ZnO) and iron oxides
  • With surfactants – compatibility with anionic, nonionic and amphoteric surfactants is expected
  • With silicone – compatible, tested up to 20%
  • With alcohol – compatible up to 5%

Optimal pH stability range: 4.5 – 10.0

Sensory profile

  • When applying:
    • Light feeling when applied
    • Easy to spread
    • Fast absorption
    • No soaping effect
  • After application:
    • Smooth and soft skin
    • Thin, comfortable protective barrier
    • Feeling of freshness and hydration

Simple production process

Cold process (3 steps):

  • Preparation and mixing of phases
  • Adding water to oil (or vice versa) and homogenization
  • pH adjustment – ​​finished emulsion!

Warm process (4 steps):

  • Heating phases to 70 – 80°C
  • Adding the water phase to the oil and homogenization
  • Cooling with stirring
  • pH adjustment – ​​finished emulsion!
