Liquid crystal emulsifiers create a lamellar or bilayered structure that mimics the lipid bilayers in our stratum corneum, which may help actives or lipids from our lotions penetrate our skin easier. They also help reduce transepidermal water loss as the lotions hold more water in contact with the skin for a longer period of time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen formulating with this emulsifier, include it in the heated oil phase of your product. Montanov™ 68 does best with a 25% oil phase, and works to emulsify natural oils as well as silicones and esters. Including a fatty alcohol like Cetyl or Cetearyl Alcohol can help increase the liquid crystal formation in the lotion. It is compatible with cationic ingredients, like Honeyquat and Cetrimonium Chloride. And it works well from pH 3 to 10, so it’s a good choice for making lotions as diverse as light facial moisturizers with AHAs and bleaching or depilatory creams. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLotions made with Montanov™ 68 are described as being lighter and more moisturizing than those made with non-liquid crystal emulsifiers, like Polawax™ or Emulsifying Wax NF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINCI: \u003c\/strong\u003eCetearyl Alcohol (and) Cetearyl Glucoside\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalifornia Prop 65 Statement: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe following statement is made in order to comply with the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.
