Silkmulse 165 Emulsifier

Using Silkmulse 165 Emulsifier effectively in cosmetic formulations involves a few key steps to ensure that it performs optimally in creating stable and pleasant-textured products. Here’s how you can incorporate it into your formulations:

Common Usage Range: 2% - 10%

1. Preparation: Begin by accurately measuring the Glyceryl Stearate & PEG-100 Stearate according to the desired percentage of your total formula.
2. Heating: This emulsifier needs to be melted to be effectively incorporated into your product. Combine it with the oil phase of your formulation. Heat this mixture to about 70°C (158°F) to ensure that the emulsifier melts completely and blends uniformly with the oils.
3. Mixing with Water Phase: Simultaneously, heat the water phase of your formulation to the same temperature. This synchrony in temperatures helps in creating a stable emulsion. Once both phases are at the correct temperature, slowly add the oil phase to the water phase while stirring continuously.
4. Homogenization: For a smooth, uniform emulsion, it's crucial to homogenize the mixture effectively during the combining phase. High-shear mixers are typically used at this stage to ensure that the oil and water phases are thoroughly blended into a stable emulsion.
5. Cooling: After emulsification, allow the mixture to cool. During the cooling phase, additional ingredients that are sensitive to heat (like fragrances, essential oils, or preservatives) can be added. Stir gently to incorporate these ingredients without disrupting the emulsion.

By following these steps, Glyceryl Stearate & PEG-100 Stearate can help you achieve a stable and aesthetically pleasing product, enhancing the application experience and performance of your skincare items.
