Emulse™ COLD is a liquid, natural-origin oil-in-water emulsifier designed for efficient formulation at ambient or reduced processing temperatures. It provides a flexible foundation for textures ranging from sprayable milks and emulsified serums to creams, masks, and emulsified body butters.

Fully liquid oil phases can be processed at room temperature. When waxes, butters, or other solid lipids are required, a semi-cold method allows the formulator to heat only the oil phase before combining it with the room-temperature aqueous phase.

 
  • Easy to use, cold process emulsifier that can create a wide range of product concepts — from elegant fluid emulsions to thick creams
  • Ability to maximize use of temperature-sensitive ingredients and botanicals by minimizing thermal exposure
  • No known ingredient contradictions and strong safety profile for creating natural products with a positive market appeal
  • Usage Rate: 1–10%
  • Solubility: Water Soluble
  • Cold Process: Yes
    • For formulas containing waxes, butters, or solid lipids, heat only the oil phase sufficiently to melt the solids, then combine it with the room-temperature aqueous phase
  • High Shear Requirements: Recommended
    • High shear is recommended during initial emulsification, particularly during first-pass development and in formulas with higher oil loads or greater structural complexity
    • Lower-shear processing may be suitable for some systems, but the selected process should be confirmed through finished-product stability testing

Jennifer says…

“Emulse™ COLD becomes much more interesting when you think beyond a standard lotion. Start with the product experience you want to create—a mistable milk, a fluid serum-emulsion, a cushiony cream, or a scoopable body butter—then build that personality through the emollient and rheology systems. The emulsifier establishes the platform, while the rest of the formula determines the final flow, richness, and sensory profile.”
