PolyAquol™ LW

1 of 4 products in this brand
PolyAquol™ LW forms O/W emulsions in a cold-process environment while achieving very low levels of viscosity. It can be incorporated in the water phase or oil phase independently. The selection of highly purified polyglyceryl and fatty acid building blocks coupled with molecular engineering know-how led to the creation of PolyAquol™-LW (patent pending). It is suitable for "one-pot" emulsions and low-energy processes, avoiding the use of heat or homogenization. Additionally, its Cosmos approval and palm-free origin make it an ideal candidate for green formulations.
