A Plant-Based Way to Build Stable Creams Without Palm Oil
Dermofeel GSC Palm Oil Free in a 30 g pack is a practical choice for home formulators and small labs testing new cream or lotion recipes before scaling up production. It belongs to the Emulsifiers category and its core function is to bind the oil and water phases into a smooth, stable emulsion that resists separation over the shelf life of the finished product. What sets it apart from many traditional emulsifiers is that it is derived from alternative plant sources rather than palm oil, which makes it a preferred pick for brands building sustainable, eco-conscious skincare lines.
The emulsifier is widely used across the personal care industry: daytime and night face creams, body lotions, lightweight serums, sun care products, hair conditioners, and baby care formulations where mildness and low irritation potential matter most. It performs reliably alongside plant oils and light emollients such as Plantsoft Oil, giving the finished emulsion a silky, fast-absorbing feel on skin. For denser balms, sticks, or richer creams, formulators often pair it with structuring waxes like Jasmine Grandiflorum Wax or bleached granulated beeswax, both of which add firmness and hold to the final texture.
A typical usage rate falls between 3 and 6 percent of total formula weight, depending on the desired viscosity and product type. The emulsifier is added to the oil phase together with oils and waxes, while the oil and water phases are heated separately to around 70-75 degrees Celsius. Once both phases reach the same temperature, they are combined and blended thoroughly until a uniform emulsion forms, then cooled gradually while heat-sensitive ingredients such as preservatives, fragrance, and active extracts are introduced once the mixture drops below 40 degrees.
Store the emulsifier in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container, away from moisture and direct sunlight, to preserve its performance over time. The 30 g size is particularly suited to early-stage trials, pilot batches, and small home productions where testing a formula's behavior before committing to larger volumes is the priority.

Plantsoft Oil 5 g
Beeswax granulated bleached 2 g
Distilled water 84 g
Glycerin 3 g
Preservative 1 g
Essential oil optional 1 g
Melt
the oil phase containing the emulsifier, oil, and beeswax over a water bath
until fully dissolved at around 75 degrees. Warm the water and glycerin
separately to the same temperature. Combine both phases and blend vigorously
with a hand mixer for several minutes until the texture turns smooth and
creamy, then cool while stirring continuously. Once the mixture reaches 40
degrees, stir in the preservative and essential oil, mix until fully uniform,
and transfer into a clean jar.
