Features & Benefits

Background

The composition of the emollient and emulsifier you choose will always influence the viscosity, stability and skin feel of your cosmetic formulation. Our Akoline range of vegetable derived emulsifiers comprises high quality ingredients renowned for their mildness. Well suited for natural skin care, they provide beautifully soft and elegant formulations.

Available either as 100% non-diluted or 50% water diluted, our ethoxylated shea butter reduces the potential for irritation typically associated with surfactant-based products and is mild enough for use in baby care. It delivers good foaming properties and improves viscosity in rinse off cleansers for skin and hair, including transparent formulations.
