Koster Keunen has combined nature and science by reacting high molecular weight monoesters of natural waxes to form this compound. This emulsifier has been designed for O/W systems with a medium to long break for luxurious emulsions regardless of viscosity. This product is naturally derived and PEG free, and will work easily in both natural and conventional systems. Kostol NatureMuls adds texture and cushion to your emulsion and can increase skin moisturization and hydration.

Kostol ApiFree is a natural, vegan wax blend with hydrophilic properties and oil gelling capabilities designed to be used in all cosmetic and personal care applications.

Kostol IBT 50A is a behentrimonium methosulfate and cetearyl alcohol emulsifier with a 50% active level. This standard emulsifier is manufactured in the USA by Koster Keunen.

Kostol Natural E is a PEG-free, natural, plant-based emulsifier. It can add viscosity to the system due to its behenyl base and delivers white emulsions. This strong O/W emulsifier is used for creams, lotions, hair pomades, surfactant systems, foundations, and mascaras.

Kostol TMC-25 is a behentrimonium chloride and cetearyl alcohol emulsifier with a 25% active level. This standard emulsifier is manufactured without isopropyl alcohol in the USA by Koster Keunen.

Kostol TBP is a high HLB emulsifier based on a blend of high molecular weight compounds. Formulators will find a light to medium break and some viscosity building.

Kostol PGP is a new emulsifying wax based on a lower HLB blend of high molecular weight compounds. This higher molecular weight emulsifier produces emulsions with 3-5% usage levels in water. This type of emulsion is creamy in consistency, very light and hydrating on the skin and produces viscosities ranging from 2500- 4500cps. Kostol PGP functions as an emulsifier for W/O and O/W, mild thickener, solublizer, and skin conditioning. Kostol PGP is soluble in most cosmetic raw materials that are common in the emulsion oil phase.

Kostol STMC has been designed to produce thick, creamy, radiant white emulsions with excellent spreadability and deposition to skin and hair. It is especially recommended for use in systems where a sulfate free claim is needed. It is ideal for use in sulfate-free conditioning shampoo, and sulfate-free conditioners. Kostol STMC adds a brighter sheen to emulsions and conditioners. Kostol STMC is proven to reduce frizz and static in hair as well as reduces wet and dry combing friction.

Kostol BAQ is a new emulsifying wax that is a blend of high molecular weight fatty alcohols possessing strong emulsifying properties when combined with Quats and Beheneth-5. Only three percent (3-4%) of Kostol BAQ in water produces emulsions with creamy consistency.

Kostol IBT-50 is a highly concentrated cationic emulsifying wax. Kostol IBT-50 works at low usage levels producing ideal hair conditioning properties. Our Kostol IBT-50 has been deodorized to have a very low odor which will reduce a formulations requirement for high loading of fragrances. Kostol IBT-50 produces emulsions with creamy and thick consistency.

Kostol IBT is an emulsifying wax based on quaternary ammonium salt. This emulsifier produces thick and creamy emulsions that feel light and hydrating on the skin with 3-5% only usage levels. By putting this emulsifier in salt form it will dissolve in water, and because it is cationic it is attracted to the hair – making it the perfect ingredient for shampoos and conditioners, as well as a host of other personal care products.

Kostol STMS has been designed to produce a more radiant white appearance, thick texture, easy spreading, thin film forming, luxurious feeling emulsion as compared to Kostol IBT. Formulators require raw materials that feel like nothing is on the skin, yet perform. Kostol STMS is a high performing cosmetic emulsifier, barrier and moisturizer that can enhance your product’s efficacy.
