Getting a smooth cream texture without splitting phases at home
Ecomuls 2 in 1 in a 25 g pack is a compact trial size aimed at home formulators and small studios who want to test a cream or lotion recipe before scaling up production. This small volume is convenient for checking how a formula behaves before committing to larger batches. The product belongs to the Emulsifiers
category, which brings together components used to bind water and oil phases into stable creams, lotions and balms.
The strongest global demand for this type of emulsifier comes from the personal care industry, where it is used in day and night facial creams, body lotions, hair conditioners and sun care emulsions. Because it is self-emulsifying, it does not require high-shear industrial mixers, which makes it equally suitable for kitchen-scale formulation and for small-batch studio production. Beyond cosmetics, similar emulsifiers are also found in household cleaning creams and polishes, as well as in some pharmaceutical ointment bases.
Ecomuls 2 in 1 pairs well with other texture-building ingredients. For a firmer cream body, formulators often add Cetyl Alcohol, which strengthens the emulsion structure and improves its resistance to temperature fluctuations during storage. For lighter fluids and gel-like textures, Lecigel works well as an additional co-emulsifier, while vegetable lanolin is often included to boost softness and moisture retention.
A typical usage rate ranges from 3 to 8 percent of the total formula weight, depending on the desired cream thickness. The emulsifier is added to the oil phase together with oils and waxes, then this phase is heated to around 70-75 degrees Celsius until fully melted. The water phase is heated separately to the same temperature and slowly poured into the oil phase under constant stirring until a uniform emulsion forms. Store the component in a dry, cool place, tightly sealed, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
The small 25 g pack is particularly convenient for anyone comparing several texture variants before finalizing a formula meant for a larger production run.
Simple soothing body lotion
Distilled water 75 ml
Sweet almond oil 7 g
Coconut oil 4 g
Ecomuls 2 in 1 4 g
Glycerin 3 g
Lavender essential oil 3 drops
Melt the oil phase with the almond oil, coconut oil and emulsifier over a water bath at 75 degrees until fully liquid. Heat the water phase with glycerin separately to the same temperature, then slowly pour it into the oil phase while stirring continuously with a mixer for about six minutes until the mixture thickens into a smooth lotion. Once cooled to 40 degrees, blend in the lavender essential oil and transfer the finished lotion into a clean jar for storage.
