Natural Emulsifiers for Cosmetics & DIY Formulations

There are just a few officially qualified organic emulsifiers in the market so to claim creams are 100% organic is misleading. There are ingredients that come close but are still not organic. The true picture is much more complex and requires a good understanding of raw materials. Some raw materials that are currently used in commercial need to be avoided. To make a it is necessary to use an emulsifier. Mixing oil with water is not possible without using emulsifiers. They enable two usually non-mixable ingredients to mix together to produce creams and lotions; or in the food industry, margarine and mayonnaise. We believe an emulsifier should be sourced from natural ingredients such as vegetable oils and other vegetable-based raw materials.Unfortunately, nature provides us with only a few emulsifiers such as lecithin and egg yolk and these don't always perform consistently enough for commercially available cosmetics products. The best emulsifiers for have up to now been derived from coconut oil and palm oil. More recently, rapeseed has been used as a lot of this crop is grown in Europe. They are safe to work with and and are even used in the food industry, such as in the production of vegan ice cream in Scandinavia. Aromantic's is produced from palm oil and our MF Emulsifier is now produced from rapeseed and palm oil.We are also proud to offer an organic emulsifier, .Related Products: | | | Related Cosmetic Recipes: | |
