A natural emulsifier pair built for stable creamy textures
Lanachrys and Lanachrys2B are supplied together and function as a single cold or low-temperature emulsification system, making this duo a practical choice for home-based labs and small studios just starting to develop their own skincare lines. This pair belongs to the Emulsifiers
category, which gathers ingredients responsible for binding water and oil phases into a smooth, stable mixture without separation. The main use of this combination is in creams, lotions, balms and serums for face and body, where a light, fast-absorbing texture is the goal.
What sets Lanachrys/Lanachrys2B apart is the ability to work at reduced temperatures, roughly 40 to 50 degrees Celsius, which noticeably lowers the risk of damaging heat-sensitive active ingredients such as vitamins, plant extracts and essential oils. This matters for formulations relying on natural additives that break down under the classic 70-75 degree phase heating. The emulsifier should be introduced while blending the oil and water phases, added gradually with continuous mixing until a homogeneous emulsion forms, then the mass is cooled while stirring continues at a gentle pace.
In industrial and semi-industrial practice, systems like this are in demand for sensitive skin formulations, baby care products, and the organic and natural cosmetics segment, where avoiding synthetic surfactants is a core technological and marketing requirement. Typical dosage ranges from 3 to 8 percent of the total formula weight, with the exact figure depending on the desired thickness, stability, and the percentage of oils used.
Compatibility with other auxiliary ingredients is fairly broad. For extra stabilization of light serums and fluids, formulators often turn to Tween 20, which helps solubilize small amounts of essential oils or fragrances into the water phase. For recipes with a more natural, sugar-based profile, Emulsifiant Gelisucre BIO works well, while a denser, creamier consistency can be achieved by pairing the system with OLIVEM 2090 Emulsifier, which adds a velvety softness to the final texture.
Beyond cosmetics, natural emulsifier complexes of this kind are occasionally used in shoe polish and wax-based household protective formulas, where a stable emulsion without harsh synthetic surfactants is needed. As a third, minor application, such systems can also be useful to makers working with creamy additives, though this is not the primary purpose of the product.
Store Lanachrys and Lanachrys2B in a dry, cool place, tightly sealed, away from direct sunlight and humidity, to preserve emulsifying activity throughout the stated shelf life. The 100 ml size is convenient for test batches and small-scale production runs, allowing a formula to be refined before scaling up.
Light hydrating day fluid
Distilled water 68 ml
Lanachrys 4 g
Lanachrys2B 2 g
Sweet almond oil 9 ml
Cetyl alcohol 2 g
Aloe vera juice 5 ml
Preservative 1 ml
Heat
the water phase to 45 degrees Celsius, melt the oil phase together with cetyl
alcohol and the emulsifiers at the same temperature, then slowly pour the oil
phase into the water phase while mixing continuously for about 6 minutes until
a smooth emulsion forms. Once the mixture cools to 35 degrees, blend in the
aloe vera juice and preservative, stir well and transfer into a clean
container.
