Building Stable Bulk Emulsions With a Self-Emulsifying Wax System
A 1 kg package signals that this material is meant for manufacturers running consistent production cycles rather than one-off test batches. Emulpharma 1000 belongs to the emulsifiers category, which brings together components responsible for merging water and oil phases into a single stable system. Worldwide, demand for this type of emulsifier is concentrated in industrial and mid-scale production of skin creams, body lotions, professional care lines and pharmaceutical ointment bases, where batch-to-batch consistency and predictable behavior under storage and transport conditions matter most.
The material functions as a self-emulsifying wax: once the oil phase is heated to around 70-75 degrees, it dissolves fully alongside the oils and fats, and upon combining with the heated water phase it forms a dense, non-separating cream texture that holds up well over the product's shelf life. Typical usage falls between 3 and 8 percent of total formula weight, adjusted according to oil content and the desired thickness of the final emulsion. The emulsifier should always be added to the oil phase before mixing begins rather than stirred into a finished emulsion afterward, since that is what keeps the system stable long term.
On production lines, Emulpharma 1000 is frequently paired with complementary emulsifiers to fine-tune texture and thermal stability. For a lighter, faster-absorbing finish, formulators often add Olivoil Avenate Emulsifier, while Prolipid 141 is used to reinforce emulsion stability against temperature swings during shipping. When a gel-like, non-greasy feel is required for daytime formulas, Emul-active Iso is a common addition to lighten the overall texture.
Beyond skin care manufacturing, emulsifiers of this type are also used in barrier creams, sun care emulsions, and cream-based household products such as polishes, shoe creams and certain cleaning pastes. The material is compatible with a wide range of vegetable and mineral oils, silicones, extracts and active ingredients, which are best added once the emulsion has cooled to around 40 degrees so their structure remains intact. Store the material in a dry area at room temperature, in a tightly sealed container away from direct sunlight and moisture, to preserve its performance throughout the stated shelf life.
For manufacturers running regular production cycles, the kilogram format simplifies procurement planning by matching typical batch sizes without frequent reordering of smaller packs.
Bulk Hand and Body Cream Base, 1000 g Batch
Distilled water 690 g
Emulpharma 1000 60 g
Sweet almond oil 55 g

Heat
the oil phase containing the emulsifier, almond oil, shea butter and cetearyl
alcohol to 75 degrees until fully melted, while heating the water and glycerin
separately to the same temperature. Pour the water phase into the oil phase in
a thin stream while mixing continuously for five to seven minutes, then cool
the batch to 40 degrees before adding the preservative and fragrance oil,
mixing until uniform and filling containers once the cream has fully cooled.
