Sucrose Ester Emulsifier 30 g

Sucrose-Based Emulsifier for Food and Skincare Formulations

This 30 g pack of sucrose ester belongs to the Emulsifiers category and represents one of the most globally demanded food-grade surfactants, commonly known under the additive number E473. The strongest worldwide demand for this ingredient comes from the food industry, where it is used in baked goods, ice cream, whipped toppings, chocolate coatings, mayonnaise and sauces to keep fat and water phases evenly distributed and stable throughout shelf life.

In skincare manufacturing, sucrose ester is valued for its gentle behavior and ability to build light, non-greasy emulsions suitable for creams, lotions and body milks, including formulas aimed at sensitive skin. Since different sucrose ester fractions carry different hydrophilic-lipophilic balance values, the ingredient can support both oil-in-water and heavier water-in-oil systems depending on formulation goals. Pharmaceutical producers also rely on it to stabilize suspensions and soft dosage forms without harsher surfactants.

Sucrose ester blends well with other emulsifiers, which expands the range of achievable textures. For hair conditioners and leave-in treatments it is often paired with the cationic Emulsifier Varisoft EQ 65, which improves softness and detangling. For silicone-based gels and light gel emulsions it can be combined with SILIGEL 10 g, while in baking and confectionery masses a reliable partner is SSL Emulsifier E481 50 g, which further reinforces dough and whipped structure stability.

Recommended dosage ranges from 1 to 5 percent of total batch weight depending on the desired emulsion thickness. The ingredient is added into the oil or fat phase while heated to 60-70 degrees Celsius, then combined with the pre-warmed water phase under continuous mixing until a uniform texture forms. The 30 g size is well suited for home-based formulation work and small trial batches, letting formulators test a recipe before scaling production. Store the product in a dry, cool place in a tightly sealed container away from moisture and direct sunlight.

Light whipped body butter with almond oil

Water 55 ml

Sucrose ester emulsifier 3 g

Almond oil 15 g

Shea butter 10 g

Glycerin 4 ml

Vitamin E 1 ml

Melt the shea butter and almond oil together over a water bath at around 60 degrees, then stir in the sucrose ester until fully dissolved. Warm the water with glycerin separately to the same temperature and slowly pour it into the oil phase while whisking continuously. Once the mixture starts to thicken and cool down, add the vitamin E, whip for two to three minutes until fluffy, then transfer into a clean jar for storage.
