Product Description
Plantaquat NC lecithin based emulsifier and conditioning agent of plant origin
Plantaquat NC is a lecithin based emulsifying and conditioning complex derived from plant lipids designed for stabilizing emulsions and improving sensory performance of cosmetic formulations. The ingredient appears as a viscous cream like mass or thick liquid with light yellow color and mild lipid aroma. The system is based on phospholipids and conditioning functional components capable of stabilizing oil in water emulsions while providing soft sensory profile. It is incorporated into the oil phase or heated emulsification stage. Technologically suitable for industrial manufacturing due to stable rheology and predictable emulsion formation.
Properties and skin performance
In creams and emulsions it forms smooth plastic texture with uniform lipid distribution. Application provides soft glide and balanced skin feel without heavy oiliness. In hair care formulations it contributes to creamy conditioning structure and even product distribution along hair fibers.
Industry applications
Plantaquat NC is used in facial creams, body lotions, hair conditioners, hair masks, creamy shampoos and SPA formulations. The ingredient is suitable for natural inspired and functional cosmetic product lines. It is widely used in private label development and contract manufacturing due to stable emulsion structure and scalable processing.
Formula example
Purified water 700 ml
Jojoba oil 100 ml
Avocado oil 80 ml
Plantaquat NC 50 g
Cetearyl alcohol 35 g
Glycerin 50 g
Panthenol 12 g
Preservative system 2 g
The aqueous phase is heated and glycerin is dissolved until uniform. In a separate vessel oils are heated together with Plantaquat NC and cetearyl alcohol until completely melted forming a homogeneous oil phase. The oil phase is gradually incorporated into the water phase under high shear mixing to create an emulsion. After stabilization the mixture is cooled and panthenol and preservative system are incorporated. The pH is adjusted to a balanced range suitable for emulsion systems. The final product is a smooth cream lotion with stable structure.
Plantaquat NC is positioned for B2B manufacturers of skin and hair care products. The ingredient ensures emulsion stability, reproducible texture and compatibility with scalable industrial and contract manufacturing processes.
