Product Highlights

• Micromulse® Foam is based on amino acid surfactants, known for their mildness and moisturizing properties. They are derived from a variety of vegetable sources including Rice, Barley and Wheat – making it vegan suitable as well as ideal for sensitive skin formulations.
• Using a cold process, Micromulse® Foam enables formulators to create transforming oil-to-foam textures that can be used in products such as shampoo or foaming cleansers.
• This transforming oil-to-foam effect is made possible by microemulsion technology, which holds the surfactant in a stable, transparent formulation until water is added and the surfactant is released.
