Emulsun® [INCI: Hydrogenated Sunflower Seed Oil Polyglyceryl-3 Esters (and) Hydrogenated Sunflower Seed Oil Glyceryl Esters (and) Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate] is a sunflower-derived o/w emulsifier, in particle form, that can be utilised in skin and hair care applications. This versatile, natural emulsifier helps create stable, aesthetically pleasing emulsions.
Emulsun (now referred to as ‘the sunflower-derived emulsifier’) comes in an easy to handle spherical particles. The free flowing particles improve dosing precision from bench-top formulations to large scale production lines. This unique particle form also offers an increased surface area compared to flakes or pellets, allowing the sunflower-derived emulsifier to be efficiently melted and blended. This characteristic improves throughput, lowers heating requirements, and results in a greener production process.
The sunflower-derived emulsifier is compatible with natural and synthetic oils, esters, silicones, ethanol, sunscreens, and thickeners. The sunflower-derived emulsifier is composed of monoesters of sunflower oil, which contain high amounts of stearic and palmitic acid. The sunflower oil used to create it undergoes an innovative refining process to preserve the sunflower wax-ester and fatty alcohol components. Sunflower wax-esters have a unique botanical composition with carbon lengths C38-C50. The associated fatty alcohols are equally unique and range from C16-C30 in chain length. These help increase formulation stability and contribute to skin and hair emolliency.
Other formulation benefits of the sunflowerderived emulsifier include: PEG-free, HLB independent, non-ionic, preservative-free, biodegradable, and low cost.
