Oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions are the most common formulation type in cosmetics as it is an ideal medium to transport all types of active ingredients (hydrophilic and lipophilic). It facilitates the formulation of a wide range of textures with varied sensory properties.
In the current context of sustainable development and economics, more and more consumers are looking for multifunctional products: two-in-one, threein-one, and sometimes even more versatility. Similarly, cosmetics manufacturers are looking for ‘multifaceted’ ingredients, able to perform several tasks in order to diminish the number of ingredients in their formulas. The manufacturing process is thus streamlined and consumes less energy.
Today, emulsifiers offering simply good emulsifying power are considered ‘basic’ emulsifiers. Expectations are high and consumers and manufacturers want versatility.
