Nonionic O/W emulsifier based on polyglycerol esters with high hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB ~13.5).
Excellent emulsion stability across a broad pH range (pH 4–9) and under thermal stress.
Low foaming profile, suitable for high-shear processing and pumpable formulations.
EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 compliant and meets REACH requirements.
Readily biodegradable (OECD 301B), supporting sustainable formulation goals.
Oil-in-water emulsions in skin care (e.g., day creams, moisturizing lotions).
Light-texture facial serums and gel-cream hybrids requiring elegant sensory properties.
Color cosmetics bases such as foundations and BB creams with pigment dispersion support.
Pharmaceutical topical emulsions including dermatological ointments and gels.
Eco-friendly household cleaning concentrates where mildness and compatibility are critical.

Q1: What is the primary function of Emulan NP 5070 in cosmetic and personal care formulations?
A: Emulan NP 5070 is a non-ionic O/W emulsifier designed to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, particularly in low-viscosity systems such as lotions, gels, and light creams. It supports elegant skin feel, rapid spreading, and good compatibility with a broad range of active ingredients and electrolytes.
Q2: Is Emulan NP 5070 suitable for use in rinse-off versus leave-on products?
A: Yes — it performs well in both rinse-off (e.g., cleansing milks, shower gels) and leave-on applications (e.g., moisturizing lotions, sun care bases), offering good mildness and compatibility with surfactants and polymers commonly used in either category.
Q3: How should Emulan NP 5070 be incorporated into a formulation?
A: It is typically added to the aqueous phase or pre-mixed with oils prior to emulsification. For optimal performance, it is recommended to heat the oil phase containing Emulan NP 5070 to 60–70 °C before combining with the heated aqueous phase, followed by gentle homogenization and controlled cooling.
Q4: Does Emulan NP 5070 contain any animal-derived ingredients or require animal testing?
A: Emulan NP 5070 is synthesized from plant-based raw materials and is not derived from animal sources. BASF adheres to its global policy against animal testing for cosmetic ingredients, and this product complies with that commitment.
