Features & Benefits

Features
  • SESAMULS® WO forms a lattice of liquid crystals within the emulsion making it look smooth and glossy in appearance, rich to the touch and pleasant to apply.
  • It allows to formulate stable emulsions containing as low as 30 - 35% of natural oils as their sole source of lipids regardless of their polarity and obtain completely natural emulsions with a nourishing feel but easy to absorb.

Properties
  • 100% plant-derived raw materials.
  • Ideal for nourishing emulsions for sensitive and dry skins manufactured via cold processing technique in alternative to the Water in Oil (WO) PEG emulsifier.
  • Thanks to the liquid crystal structures it is possible to have stabilization of the emulsion viscosity even in presence of lipid phases with different polarities. Does not require co-emulsifiers.
  • Compatible under extreme anionic and cationic conditions across a wide range of pH values (pH 3 - 9).
  • It facilitates the dispersion of any sort of powder, from titanium dioxide to iron oxides, and it functions as a shine enhancer that improves the shine of make-up products.
  • Emulsions are easily absorbed and, despite being rich in natural lipids, neither greasy nor sticky.
  • Soluble in ethanol, mineral and vegetal oils, fatty acids, fatty alcohols and their derivatives.
