A small test batch size for trying out new emulsion formulas
Emulpharma 1000 in a 10 gram pack is designed for those who want to test a new formula before scaling up to a larger production batch. This small size is well suited for home-based cosmetic making and trial versions of creams, lotions and emulsions, when it is important to check formula stability without using large amounts of raw material. The product belongs to the Emulsifiers
category, which brings together various options for building stable oil-in-water and water-in-oil systems.
The main function of an emulsifier is to bind the water and oil phases together into a single stable system, preventing separation over time. The most common application is skincare cosmetics: face and body creams, lotions, serums, makeup removers and sun care products. In the pharmaceutical industry similar emulsifiers are used for producing ointments and liniments, while in technical manufacturing they help stabilize cream-like household chemical formulas and certain lubricant blends.
To work with this emulsifier, it should be added to the oil phase together with other fatty components and heated to around 70-75 degrees Celsius. The water phase is warmed separately to the same temperature, then slowly combined with the oil phase under constant stirring. A typical dosage ranges from 3 to 6 grams per 100 grams of finished product, depending on the desired thickness and stability of the emulsion. Continue mixing until the mass cools completely for a smoother, more even texture.
Emulpharma 1000 combines well with other emulsifiers, allowing formulators to blend components to achieve the desired consistency. For a lighter texture, it can be paired with Emulsifier Plantasens HE 20. For naturally positioned formulas, consider combining it with Emulsifier MONTANOV L, while heavier oil-rich systems may benefit from adding Emulsifier Emulsiphos for extra stability.
Store the component in a tightly sealed package, in a dry place away from direct sunlight, at room temperature. It is important to prevent moisture from entering the package before use, as this can affect the emulsifier's performance later on.
Trial facial cream sample
Distilled water 72 ml
Sweet almond oil 8 g
Coconut oil 5 g
Emulpharma 1000 emulsifier 4 g
Glycerin 3 g
Preservative 1 g
Lavender essential oil 3 drops
Heat
the oil phase together with the emulsifier over a water bath to 70 degrees, and
separately warm the water phase with glycerin to the same temperature. Pour the
water phase into the oil phase in a thin stream while whisking continuously for
several minutes until a uniform emulsion forms. Cool the mixture to 40 degrees,
add the preservative and essential oil, stir well and transfer into a jar for
storage.
