PolyAquol™ VO4 is a new, patented technology in the field of emulsions. Unlike standard emulsifiers, it literally creates a Water-and-Oil Fusion; W+O. It is completely natural, as per its Cosmos certification and palm-free origin, and performs even in the presence of 100% vegetable oil. PolyAquol™-VO4 is an easily pourable liquid that allows for the formation of cold-process emulsions. Its ability to accept up to 80% of internal water phase provides full control over the viscosity of the final emulsion. It can create stable emulsions when used in a concentration as low as 2%, and surpasses competition in robustness and sensory appeal.
