Emulsifier SISTERNA SP-70C 30 g

Emulsifier Sucrose stearate in cosmetics

Natural emulsifier Sisterna is a sucrose ester that allows the creation of emulsions by cold and hot methods, and is also an emulsifier for the production of natural hydrophilic oils and oleogel. This product is an ideal choice for the preparation of emulsions containing unstable oils sensitive to oxidation. The gentle vegetable emulsifier softens the skin at the first touch, the emulsions obtained with it can have a liquid or medium viscous form, light texture with a feeling of freshness and tenderness.

Component characteristic and usage

INCI: Sucrose Stearate

Type: non-ionogenic emulsifier O/W

HLB: 15

Dosage (percentage of input into cosmetics): 2-10%

• up to 10% as a basic emulsifier
• 2% as a co-emulsifier to create silky textures
• 2-3% to create a hydrophilic oil or oleagel
• up to 10% in detergents and cleansers.

Solubility: in water and oil, depending on the type of use Usage: the emulsifier allows the production of emulsions both cold without heating and when heated to 40 or 70 C. Depending on the type of cosmetic, the emulsifier can be added to either the aqueous or the fatty phase of the recipe. Adding 1-3% fatty alcohols (Lanol P, Lanette O) allows for a thicker emulsion. Adding 0.2 - 0.5% thickeners to the formulation allows for a more viscous and stable emulsion. Read more about the use of the emulsifier further in the description.

Storage: it is recommended to store in a dark, dry and cool place, protect from direct sunlight and overheating.

What are sucrose esters from the manufacturer Sisterna

Safety and gentleness are key requirements in today's personal care industry and are increasingly encouraging formulators to focus their interest on natural and naturally occurring raw materials. But it is not enough for a modern emulsifier to be simply mild and safe. It must fulfil more `excellent' technological characteristics. Sucrose esters combine these requirements. Sisterna's emulsifiers based on sucrose and vegetable fatty acids represent a unique range of high quality non-ionic emulsifiers with exceptional sensory characteristics. With them, cosmetic technologists can develop personal care products that fulfil the parameters of natural plant-based cosmetics that care for the environment thanks to their high degree of biodegradability. Sisterna SP70-C or Sucrose Stearate The plant emulsifier Sisterna SP70-C allows the production of different types of emulsions both cold and at low temperatures. It is ideal for the creation of products containing oils sensitive to oxidation or active ingredients that are undesirable to heat. In this case, you can only work with two phases: aqueous and fatty. Mix everything in two glasses, heat to 40 C and then emulsify. Sisterna SP70-C is a very gentle emulsifier that is excellent for softening the skin and moisturising its top layers. It allows you to obtain delicate, non-viscous emulsions and to produce silky shower gels or cleansing milk for washing children.

How to work with emulsifier: 4 types of emulsion creation Emulsion cold method without heating add emulsifier to the fat phase and thoroughly disperse in oil in the water phase it is necessary to add 0,2 - 0,5% thickener, it will stabilise the emulsion and make the cream more viscous then pour the fat phase into the water phase with constant stirring and keep stirring for 5-10 minutes. Emulsion with heating to a temperature of 40 C add emulsifier to the cold fatty phase and thoroughly disperse in oil, breaking lumps in the water phase should be added 0.2 - 0.5% thickener, it will stabilise the emulsion and make the cream more viscous heat both phases in a water bath to the required temperature. You can control the temperature with a portable thermometer. While heating, stir the emulsifier periodically with a stick to avoid clumping and poor dissolution. then remove the beakers from the water bath and pour the fatty phase into the aqueous phase while stirring vigorously and continue stirring until you have a stable emulsion. We recommend alternating between mixing with a mixer and a spoon to prevent the emulsion from blowing. Hot emulsification at 60-70 C add emulsifier to the aqueous phase and disperse thoroughly in water add co-emulsifier or fatty alcohols to the fatty phase heat both phases At the beginning you may think that the cream looks like a gel-like substance. Continue mixing until you have a stable emulsion. We recommend alternating between mixing with a mixer and a spoon to prevent the emulsion from blowing. To create an oleagel or natural hydrophilic oil. Mix the emulsifier with glycerin (glycerin is a must) and disperse thoroughly. Mix all the components of the fatty phase Heat both phases to a temperature of about 75 C, remembering to stir the emulsifier. then drop by drop introduce the fatty phase into the emulsifier-glycerine mixture. Introduce in small portions with constant stirring. the result is a viscous skin cleansing gel. Remember, when working with Sisterna SP70-C emulsifier, you will be able to see the final viscosity of the emulsion after 24-48 hours. Working with the emulsifier when heated to 40 or 70 C, your emulsions will be thicker. Thickeners added to the aqueous phase have a great influence on the viscosity of the emulsion. You can also get thicker creams by adding co-emulsifiers and fatty alcohols. Main cosmetic advantages Emulsion formation cold or at low temperature (40 °C), which allows to preserve the beneficial properties of all components In mono version, creates light and not dense emulsions, ideal for the preparation of lotions, body milk or weightless creams. It has an additional moisturising effect on the upper layers of the skin. A gentle vegetable emulsifier that is well tolerated even by sensitive skin. Enables the creation of Oil-to-milk systems or hydrophilic oils. What recipes it is used for The multifunctional emulsifier Sucrose Stearate is used in many recipes for face and body creams and lotions, as well as for the preparation of hydrophilic oils and cleansers. Specifically: all types of moisturising emulsions for face and body, including as a co-emulsifier cleansing milk or make-up remover anti-ageing cosmetics all types of cosmetics containing unstable oils and actives that should not be heated above 40 C shaving products moisturising shower gel creams cosmetics for bathing or bathing babies cleansing hydrophilic oils or oleogels waterless scrubs for face and body. Framework formulations from the manufacturer to develop imagination in a water bath, stirring the aqueous phase occasionally then remove the beakers from the water bath and pour the fatty phase into the aqueous phase while stirring vigorously
