Product Description
Emulsan Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate nonionic emulsifier for cosmetic creams and emulsion systems
Emulsan is a nonionic emulsifier based on methyl glucose derivative and stearic acid with INCI Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate. The material appears as solid flakes or plates with cream to light beige color. The ingredient is incorporated into the oil phase where it melts during heating and forms stable oil in water emulsions. Emulsan is compatible with plant oils waxes fatty alcohols and a wide range of cosmetic active ingredients. Due to its plant derived origin and mild sensory profile the ingredient is widely used in modern cosmetic emulsions and natural formulations.
Properties and skin performance
In cosmetic formulations Emulsan creates stable cream textures with smooth sensory feel. Emulsions prepared with this emulsifier show uniform structure and pleasant spreading properties. Creams and lotions provide a soft velvety finish and balanced oil phase distribution.
Industry applications
Emulsan is used in creams lotions body milk serums masks and other emulsion based formulations. The ingredient is applied in facial skincare body care SPA products and natural cosmetic lines. It is also used in dermatological bases hygiene products and cosmetic formulation systems. The stable emulsifying performance makes the ingredient suitable for private label development contract manufacturing and scalable cosmetic production.
Formula example
Emulsan 24 g
Jojoba oil 80 ml
Grape seed oil 80 ml
Shea butter 35 g
Cetyl alcohol 20 g
Glycerin 70 g
Purified water 450 ml
Panthenol 15 g
Preservative system 2 g
Emulsan shea butter and cetyl alcohol are combined with the plant oils and heated until the oil phase melts completely. In a separate vessel purified water and glycerin are heated. When both phases reach similar temperature the oil phase is incorporated into the aqueous phase with continuous mixing to form an emulsion. During the cooling stage panthenol is added and mixing continues until evenly distributed. In the final stage the preservative system is incorporated and pH is adjusted to the typical range used for cosmetic emulsions. The result is a stable cream with smooth texture.
Emulsan is designed for B2B cosmetic manufacturers contract laboratories and private label developers. The ingredient provides stable emulsification compatibility with various formulation systems and reproducible results in scalable industrial production.
