Origin and characteristics
Xalifin is a modern non-ionic emulsifier designed for the creation of stable oil-in-water emulsions. It is valued in cosmetic formulations for its ability to provide stability even in complex systems with low oil content. Due to its mildness and high compatibility, Xalifin is used in skincare, haircare, spa products, baby cosmetics, and professional wellness lines.
This ingredient is a clear to slightly opalescent liquid with no strong odor. It dissolves well in water, remains stable across a wide pH range, and integrates smoothly into formulas with oils, extracts, peptides, vitamins, surfactants, and other actives.
