NEW! ECOCERT - PlantaMulse™ Liquid - Natural Plant Source, PEG-free, biodegradable emulsifier made from the esters of glycerin and fatty acids.
PlantaMulse™Liquid performs beautifully at very low percentages to formulate cold process, sprayable formulations such as body mist or facial mist. PlantaMulse™Liquid will emulsify essential oils, as well as oils and emollients, in sprayable formulations and is recommended as a replacement for ethoxylated emulsifiers such as Polysorbate 20.
PlantaMulse™Liquid can also be used as a complete self-emulsifier for elegant body milks and light, cold process lotions. PlantaMulse™Liquid is easy to use and will leave skin feeling exceptionally soft, smooth and conditioned.
For creams and lotions where greater viscosity is desired, 1-4% fatty alcohol (ie. behenyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol), or medium HLB co-emulsifier (PlantaEm), or low HLB co-emulsifier (ie. lecithin, glyceryl stearate, sorbitan stearate) is recommended. We also recommend water phase viscosity/sensory enhancing ingredients such as XanThix, UltraMaize or HEC.
PlantaMulse™ Liquid has the ability to form lamellar liquid-crystalline structures in water which provides exceptional stability and superb re-fatting properties and sensory characteristics.
●PlantaMulse™Liquid is compatible with most ingredients and due to its lamellar liquid-crystalline structure is a perfect carrier for active ingredients. PlantaMulse™Liquid is not compatible with cationics.
●PlantaMulse™Liquid is supplied in easy to use liquid form.
●PlantaMulse™ exhibits excellent stability at elevated temperatures and good freeze/thaw stability from pH 5.0-9.0.
●PlantaMulse™Liquid eliminates the need for Polysorbate 20, Polysorbate 80 and other ethoxylated emulsifiers in the formulation of sprayable body mist.
●PlantaMulse™ Liquid is easy to use and provides all natural, PEG-free emulsification for cold-process, sprayable lotion milk, body mist, facial mist and light lotions.
●Sprayable emulsions will be opaque and will not be clear. For stability and to enhance sprayability, homogenization is necessary to create smaller emulsion droplets and lower viscosity. A high speed stick blender can be used instead.
●PlantaMulse™Liquid can also be used with co-emulsifiers and fatty alcohols to formulate high viscosity lotions, creams, and other emulsions.
●PlantaMulse™ can also be used in scrubs and body polish to provide rinseability.
●PlantaMulse™Liquid is based on vegetable source raw materials and is free from ethylene oxide and nitrosamines. It is biocompatible and biodegradable and offers skin conditioning and a soft feel. PlantaMulse™ is a trademark of The Herbarie.
