Emulsifier Blends / Self-emulsifying Bases

Self-emulsifying base emulsifiers appear as waxy solids or liquid blends. They are used in creams, lotions, and serums, ensuring a smooth, non-greasy application with enhanced sensory appeal. Their ability to form emulsions with minimal mechanical effort makes them ideal for both conventional and cold-process formulations. 

Popular INCI ingredients in this segment include Glyceryl Stearate SE and PEG-100 Stearate & Glyceryl Stearate. Natural and PEG-free alternatives have gained popularity. Regulatory considerations may apply depending on the presence of ethoxylated ingredients.
