Faqs

Q: What does O/W emulsifier mean?
A: It means it creates oil-in-water emulsions, where water is the main phase and oils are dispersed throughout for a lotion or cream texture.

Q: Does it work with both light oils and richer butters?
A: Yes, it emulsifies both polar and non-polar oils, provided your total oil phase stays within the recommended range.

Q: Why does electrolyte compatibility matter?
A: Some emulsions thin or split when salts, actives, or certain botanical extracts are added, and better electrolyte tolerance can help maintain stability.
