H Care® CPE-K MB is a naturally derived, excellent water-soluble O/W emulsifier and emulsion stabilizer. It can be used as the primary emulsifier, combining with low HLB co-emulsifiers to achieve highly stable emulsions. It is easily dissolved into the hot water phase during emulsion processing. At low use levels, It will enhance the stability of any emulsion and at higher concentrations will aid in building the viscosity of creams and lotions. It can replace stearic acid salts in most preparations. This product is ideally suited for use in many dermatological and personal care products, providing a silky powdery after-feel. It is completely non-irritating.
