EMULIUM® KAPPA MB

Gattefossé has developed Emulium® Kappa MB to answer formulators’ need for a multifunctional PEG-free emulsifier of natural origin that yields stable emulsions; offers the added value of greater activity; and creates a unique sensorial identity.
 
Oil-in-water emulsions based on Emulium® Kappa MB are very glossy and have a rich and luxurious feel. They are easy to apply, have a long play time, create a sensation of comfort, are softly textured (comparable to silicone elastomers), and exert a remarkable, lasting cushion effect—for baby-soft, replumed skin.
 
PEG-free emulsifier derived from natural waxes:
Candelilla wax is a good thickener and is renowned for its ability to retain water.
Rice bran was chosen for its sensorial qualities—softness and powdery touch—and for its specific, reproducible composition.
Jojoba wax, liquid at room temperature, offers softness and spreadability.
