Getting a Silky, Non-Greasy Feel Without Silicones
Emulsifier Prolipid 141 has become a go-to ingredient for cosmetic chemists who need to build light, silky emulsions that leave no oily film on the skin. This next-generation complex emulsifier is widely used in moisturizing face and body creams, sunscreens, BB and CC creams, and formulations for sensitive skin where soft sensory feel and stability across temperature ranges are essential. This product belongs to the Emulsifiers section, which brings together components for building stable oil-in-water and water-in-oil systems of various consistencies and purposes.
The main application field for Prolipid 141 is the cosmetics manufacturing industry, ranging from small-batch home production to laboratory prototyping before scaling up to larger runs. The 25 gram package is ideal for formulators testing new recipes, creating trial batches of creams and lotions before a bigger launch, and for home crafters who want a professional-grade texture without buying large volumes of raw material. The emulsifier is added to the oil phase and heated together with other lipid components to a temperature of 70-75 degrees Celsius, then combined with a water phase preheated to the same temperature under continuous stirring. The recommended usage rate is between 3 and 6 percent of the total formula weight, depending on the desired thickness and stability of the finished product.
One of the key features of this emulsifier is its ability to create emulsions with an exceptionally light, almost airy texture, which makes it popular for day creams, eye contour products, and formulations aimed at oily or combination skin types. It pairs well with vegetable oils, silicone alternatives, botanical extracts, and active ingredients, staying stable even when acidic components are added within a reasonable pH range. For a richer, more buttery consistency, it can be combined with other emulsifiers such as Olivatis 18 Emulsifier, which adds extra body and nourishing character to the formula. For recipes focused on natural-origin ingredients, a good partner is Polygreen Coconut Cetila Emulsifier, which lends the texture a softer, more cushiony feel.
The emulsifier should be stored in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and excess moisture, in tightly sealed packaging. At room temperature the product retains its properties for a long period, though high humidity may cause clumping, which does not affect functionality but requires more careful weighing during dosing. For lighter, serum-like emulsions, a good combination is with Emulsifier Optinov Green, which further reduces the greasy feel and speeds up absorption of the finished product.
