Recipe

Basic emulsion cream with Imwitor 372 P

Purified water 730 ml
Imwitor 372 P 40 g
Cetearyl alcohol 25 g
Grapeseed oil 100 ml
Glycerin 60 ml
Panthenol 20 ml
Green tea extract 40 ml
Preservative 5 ml
pH regulator 3 ml

Process

Glycerin is dissolved in the water phase until a uniform solution is achieved. The oil phase is prepared by combining oil, Imwitor 372 P and cetearyl alcohol followed by heating until fully melted and evenly distributed. The phases are then combined under controlled mixing to form an emulsion. During cooling, active components are incorporated, followed by addition of preservative and pH adjustment. The formulation is stabilized to achieve a uniform and consistent texture.

Industrial stability and scalability

Imwitor 372 P is widely used in industrial manufacturing as a stable emulsifier providing high reproducibility of formulation characteristics. It supports consistent emulsion formation, reduces batch variability and ensures stability during storage and transportation.

The ingredient integrates easily into various production processes and does not require complex processing conditions. It is suitable for scaling from laboratory development to full scale manufacturing and is used across cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries as a reliable functional ingredient.
