Technical Details & Test Data

Spreadability of Stepan Emollients

The spreadability of different emollients can be determined by measuring the contact angle of a particular ingredient on a substrate, in this case Vitro-Skin®. An ingredient that demonstrates good spreadability will have a polarity that closely matches the natural polarity of skin (which tends to be hydrophilic) and thus return lower contact angle results than an ingredient with poor spreadability. Good spreadability is an important attribute for applications such as body and facial lotions and sunscreens, where it is desired to have a formula that rubs into the skin quickly and feels light and soft, not greasy.
