Product Description
Plantaquat NC lecithin based plant emulsifier for creams and conditioning systems
Plantaquat NC is a lecithin based emulsifying complex derived from plant phospholipids designed for stabilizing cosmetic emulsions and improving sensory characteristics of formulations. The material appears as a viscous creamy mass with light yellow to cream color and mild lipid aroma. The ingredient functions as a mild emulsifier capable of forming stable lamellar structures in oil in water emulsions. It is incorporated into the heated oil phase or during the emulsification stage. The lecithin structure supports formation of smooth cream textures and stable emulsions suitable for industrial manufacturing.
Properties and skin performance
In creams and lotions it creates smooth plastic texture with uniform lipid distribution. The emulsion spreads easily and provides balanced glide with soft lipid finish. In hair care formulations it contributes to creamy conditioning texture and improves product distribution along hair fibers.
Industry applications
Plantaquat NC is used in facial creams, body lotions, hair masks, conditioners, creamy shampoos and SPA formulations. The ingredient is suitable for natural inspired and functional cosmetic lines. It is widely applied in private label development and contract manufacturing due to stable lamellar emulsion structure and scalable processing.
Formula example
Purified water 700 ml
Glycerin 55 g
Sweet almond oil 110 ml
Shea butter 80 ml
Plantaquat NC 60 g
Cetearyl alcohol 40 g
Panthenol 12 g
Preservative system 2 g
Glycerin is dissolved in the aqueous phase under heating until uniform. In a separate vessel almond oil, shea butter, Plantaquat NC and cetearyl alcohol are heated until fully melted forming a homogeneous oil phase. The oil phase is gradually incorporated into the aqueous phase under high shear mixing to form an emulsion. After the structure is stabilized the mixture is cooled and panthenol and preservative system are added. The pH is adjusted to a balanced range suitable for emulsion systems. The final product is a smooth medium density cream with stable lamellar structure.
Plantaquat NC is positioned for B2B manufacturers of skin and hair care cosmetics. The ingredient provides stable emulsions, reproducible texture and compatibility with scalable industrial and contract manufacturing processes.
