Origin and characteristics
Xalifin is a modern non-ionic emulsifier designed to create highly stable oil-in-water emulsions. Its gentle profile, excellent compatibility, and stability across wide pH ranges make it a reliable choice for modern skincare, haircare, spa, baby care, and eco-friendly formulations.
Xalifin appears as a clear to slightly opalescent liquid with no strong odor. It dissolves easily in water, remains stable in diverse formulations, and blends seamlessly with natural oils, botanical extracts, vitamins, peptides, surfactants, and preservatives. These properties make it especially popular in clean beauty and sustainable cosmetic concepts.
