Description and Key Features

Sucrose Distearate (INCI: Sucrose distearate) is a sophisticated emulsifier derived from natural sucrose and stearic acid. Unlike many synthetic alternatives, it’s highly compatible with the skin, making it an excellent choice for natural and clean beauty products. Its unique molecular structure allows it to create stable oil-in-water emulsions, resulting in a smooth, elegant texture and excellent product stability.

Key features and benefits:

• Plant-Derived and Natural: This is a 100% plant-based ingredient, appealing to consumers looking for natural, clean, and sustainable cosmetic products.

• Superior Emulsifying Power: Creates exceptionally stable and fine emulsions, preventing separation of oil and water phases over time.

• Pleasant Skin Feel: Provides a light, non-greasy, and silky texture to the final product, enhancing the overall user experience.

• Versatile Application: Works well with a wide range of oils and active ingredients, offering great flexibility in formulation.

• Broad pH Tolerance: Functions effectively across a wide pH range, making it suitable for various product types, from moisturizers to sunscreens.

• Ease of Use: As a powder, it is easy to measure and incorporate into the water phase. Its specific melting point of 75°C ensures simple and reliable processing during the hot emulsification stage.

Areas of Application and Use Cases

The Sucrose Distearate Emulsifier is a versatile ingredient that elevates the quality and performance of many cosmetic products. Its ability to create stable, pleasant-feeling emulsions makes it a go-to for formulators worldwide. The recommended usage rate is 2% to 10%.

• Creams and Lotions: It is an excellent choice for a wide variety of facial and body creams, lotions, and milk emulsions, providing a smooth and luxurious feel without greasiness. It's particularly effective for day creams and moisturizers due to its light texture.

• Anti-Aging and Active Serums: Use it to emulsify serums containing water-soluble and oil-soluble active ingredients, ensuring they are evenly dispersed and effectively delivered to the skin.

• Sunscreen Formulations: Its ability to create stable emulsions makes it a great addition to sunscreens, helping to suspend mineral filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide evenly for consistent UV protection.

Important Usage Note: The emulsifier must be added to the heated water phase, which should be at 75°C. It's crucial to stir thoroughly until the powder is fully dissolved and the water phase is homogeneous before combining it with the oil phase.

Cosmetic Recipe: Soothing and Hydrating Facial Cream

Create a light yet deeply hydrating facial cream that feels incredible on the skin using the Sucrose Distearate Emulsifier. This recipe is designed to moisturize and soothe the skin, leaving it soft and supple.

Phase A (Water Phase):

• Distilled Water: Up to 100% (around 70%)

• Hydrolat (e.g., Rose or Chamomile): 10%

• Glycerin: 3%

Phase B (Oil Phase):

• Jojoba Oil: 8%

• Shea Butter: 3%

• Sucrose Distearate Emulsifier: 5%

Phase C (Cool-Down Phase):

• Panthenol (Vitamin B5): 2%

• Allantoin: 0.5%

• Preservative (e.g., Euxyl PE 9010): 1%

• Essential Oil (e.g., Lavender or Frankincense): 0.5%

Instructions for Making the Cream:

Step 1: Sanitize all your tools, containers, and work surfaces. Step 2: In separate heat-resistant containers, combine the ingredients for Phase A and Phase B. Step 3: Heat both phases in a double boiler until Phase B reaches 75°C and the emulsifier and shea butter are completely melted and dissolved. Step 4: Slowly pour the heated Phase B into the heated Phase A, mixing with an immersion blender on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until a white, uniform emulsion forms. Step 5: Place the container in a cold water bath and continue to mix until the emulsion cools down to below 40°C. The cream will thicken as it cools. Step 6: Add the ingredients from Phase C, mixing well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated. Step 7: Check the pH of the finished cream and adjust if necessary (a pH of 5.0-6.0 is ideal for a face cream). Step 8: Transfer the finished cream into a sanitized jar or airless pump bottle.

Recommendations for Use:

• Usage Rate: This recipe uses a 5% concentration of the emulsifier, providing a light, stable emulsion. You can adjust the percentage within the recommended range of 2-10% to achieve your desired texture and stability.

• Temperature Control: To ensure proper emulsification, it is crucial to maintain both phases at 75°C before combining them.

• Storage: Store the finished cream in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. The preservative will ensure a shelf life of several months to a year.

• Application: Apply a small amount to clean skin on the face and neck morning and night.

• Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before full use, especially if you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergies.
