Product Description
Product Description
EmulsiGel Eco is a natural origin, biodegradable and eco friendly emulsifier that gives a non greasy sensation and cool, elegant feel to the skin. As a main emulsifier it can be used to create light cream gels and gel creams with stable viscosity. The product is compatible with electrolytes, surfactants and other ingredients, easy to incorporate into various formulations. EmulsiGel Eco is also a great stabiliser, provides stability and control to emulsions and can be used with other gums like xanthan gum to enhance its benefits.
With its green process and natural origin ingredients, EmulsiGel Eco is the perfect choice for customers looking for a reliable and effective emulsifier for their natural cosmetic products. To use EmulsiGel Eco, simply hydrate it in the water phase using a double boiler or a heat resistant glass bowl set over a pot of boiling water, then add the oil phase and stir with a stick blender or high shear mixer to create a smooth and stable emulsion.
How to use it
How to Use
Skin Care
EmulsiGel Eco has active properties and in itself is hydrating and soothing to the skin.
It also increases the bioavailability of active materials so active materials that you add are more able to be taken up into the skin.
As a thickener, it makes water based gels.
The xanthan gum and sclerotium gum combine to give very elegant gel textures which are less sticky than other gelling agents as well as more resilient.
Ideal for use in serums, anti wrinkle products and daily use moisturising primers.
Especially favoured in men's grooming products for its non sticky feel.
It increases the stability and viscosity (thickness) of your formulations. As an emulsifier, the lysolecithin allows smaller oil droplets in the emulsion which enable more stable and thinner emulsions.
This enables you to make stable serums using CO2 Extracts and other actives.
Makes excellent light lotions for daily use and suitable for acne prone skin care products.
As a skin feel enhancer, the pullulan provides an exceptionally light feel with no stickiness and very good spreadability that feels as good as silicon products but from a natural source.
Add when making creams and lotions for enhanced sensorial qualities.
Hair Care
Combine with surfactants to make stable shampoos with a very elegant skin feel.
Other
Add 0.3% or less to a formulation to improve the skin feel of the product.
Use 1% or less combined with other emulsifiers to stabilise and improve the finished texture of creams and lotions.
Use 1.5% to 2% as a gelling agent to give a gel with beautiful sensory feel.
The gel has less tackiness than other thickeners and is more resilient.
Premix with some glycerine for best results.
Heat water to between 70°C and 75°C and add the combined EmulsiGel Eco and glycerine at high shear (use a stick blender).
We have found that a short mixing time has worked well but the manufacturers recommend 20 minutes it you require long term stability.
Cool down before adding heat sensitive actives.
This will make a good base for serums, eye area products and light body gelées.
It is also stable with up to 10% ethanol so makes a good gel base when using tinctures.
Use 1.5% to 2% as the sole emulsifier to make light gel-creams and lotions with an ultra soft texture.
2% will emulsify a maximum of 10% oil (depending on the oils chosen).
Premix the EmulsiGel Eco with some glycerine for best results.
Heat water between 70°C and 75°C and add the combined EmulsiGel Eco and glycerine at high shear (use a stick blender).
To emulsify into a lotion, add the oil phase at high shear but cool down whilst using a spatula to stir.
Do not cool down whilst using high shear as this will damage the structure of the emulsion.
Use in surfactant based shower gels and shampoos to increase thickness and give a wonderful texture.
This works with surfactants but not detergents.
It is stable between pH range 3 to 10 which means it can cope with acids like AHA’s as well as surfactants like our Natural Surfactant base.
