Product Description 

Lumorol K 5229 is a high-performance surfactant blend designed for use in personal care products, especially bath and shower formulations. It combines anionic and non-ionic surfactants to produce a self-emulsifying base that turns oil and water into a milky, cleansing emulsion.

Highly concentrated with 93% active ingredients, Lumorol K 5229 activates on contact with water to create a rich lather and luxurious foam. It disperses evenly in oil, making it ideal for crafting indulgent shower oils, foaming bath oils, and gentle hair cleansers.

The resulting oil-in-water emulsions rinse off easily, leaving the skin soft without residue.

 

Its mild formulation and pH of 7 in a 10% aqueous solution make it a great choice for sensitive-skin applications. It allows formulators to develop moisturising cleansers with high oil content and excellent foaming ability.

Lumorol K 5229 boasts a range of key characteristics that make it an excellent choice for various formulations. Its stability is enhanced when combined with low polarity oils, and it exhibits excellent solubility in almost all types of oils. The product’s performance is further highlighted by its ability to self-emulsify into a white oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion when mixed with water, making it an ideal choice for creating foaming shower oils and bath oils.

Lumorol K 5229 is perfect for product developers seeking ingredient flexibility, ease of use, and compatibility with natural raw materials.

 

How to Use 

Skin Care 

  • When made up into a foaming shower or bath product, it cleanses the skin very thoroughly, it also leaves the skin moisturized due to the high oil content leaving the skin feeling soft and conditioned.

  • It is mild and gentle on the skin and is soothing for irritated skin types.

  • We have found that some essential oils will cause the end product to change colour, e.g., Lemongrass will turn a product containing Lumorol K 5229 a deep yellow/orange colour. Check with a small amount first when using different essential oils.

Hair Care 

  • For many people, it will work well as an elegant body and hair/all-in-one wash. For others, their hair would be best washed separately - it depends on your hair type and hair length. It can be effective to blend into shampoo formulations to make them more gentle on the hair and scalp.

Other 

  • Use 35% to 65% as a general guideline, depending on the oils it is combined with.

  • Oil soluble, so it cannot be used in water-only products.

  • If it is stored in cold conditions, it may sediment. This can be mixed whilst it is warmed gently to 30°C without affecting the quality.

Can you leave this on the skin, if mixed in fairly low proportion, or does it need to be rinsed off? I'm considering adding it to some butters and oils to make a body-lotion bar that can be smoothed onto your skin while still wet from the shower. The emulsification into a creamy layer when in contact with water is a plus for what I'm envisioning, as long as leaving it on the skin isn't inadvisable.
Lumorol K 5229 is designed primarily as a rinse-off emulsifier and surfactant, so we recommend rinsing it off after use. It is not intended to be left on the skin, even in low proportions. For your lotion bar idea, we suggest choosing an emulsifier specifically formulated for leave-on skincare products.
Could you tell me if Lumorol K 5229 is vegan friendly please? Thanks so much.
Yes, Lumorol K 5229 is vegan-friendly.
When will lumorol be back in stock ? I want to buy 25 litres. Regards Jayne
Thank you for your enquiry. The new stock should be arriving around the beginning of November.
HI. I want to buy this product at least 10kg but I need a shelf life better than 01.12.2023. When you have plans to recieve a new one? Regards, Helena
Thank you for your enquiry. We should have a batch with a best before date of 01/06/2024 available within the next few weeks.
