PlantaMulse™ - Natural Plant Source, PEG-free, biodegradable emulsifier and emollient made from the esters of glycerin and fatty acids.
PlantaMulse™ has the ability to form lamellar liquid-crystalline structures in water which provides exceptional stability and superb re-fatting properties and sensory characteristics.
PlantaMulse™ functions as an o/w emulsifier and emollient for creams, lotions, body milk and other emulsions and will leave skin feeling exceptionally soft, smooth and conditioned.
PlantaMulse™ can be used as a complete self-emulsifier for elegant body milks and light lotions. For creams and lotions where greater viscosity is desired, 1-2% fatty alcohol (ie. behenyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol), fatty acid (stearic acid), or medium HLB co-emulsifier (PlantaEm), or low HLB co-emulsifier (ie. glyceryl stearate) is recommended. We also recommend water phase viscosity/sensory enhancing ingredients such as VenaSilk, OryzaSilk, UltraMaize or HEC.

●PlantaMulse™ is particularly useful in sunscreen formulations due to water resistance characteristics.
●PlantaMulse™ can also be used in anhydrous scrubs and body polish to build body and provide rinseability.
