Q1: What is BASF Emulan OC Emulsion primarily used for?
A: Emulan OC Emulsion is a non-ionic O/W emulsifier specifically developed for use in aqueous cosmetic and personal care formulations, such as moisturizing creams, lotions, and after-sun products, where mildness, good skin feel, and stable emulsion formation are required.
Q2: Is Emulan OC Emulsion compatible with common cosmetic actives and preservatives?
A: Yes, it demonstrates broad compatibility with typical cosmetic ingredients including water-soluble actives (e.g., niacinamide, panthenol), UV filters, and widely used preservative systems. It is also stable across a pH range of approximately 4–8 under standard formulation conditions.
Q3: How should Emulan OC Emulsion be incorporated into a formulation?
A: It is typically added to the aqueous phase and heated to 70–75 °C before combining with the oil phase. Homogenization during emulsification helps ensure optimal droplet size distribution and long-term physical stability.
Q4: Does Emulan OC Emulsion contain any animal-derived ingredients or require animal testing?
A: Emulan OC Emulsion is of synthetic origin and contains no animal-derived raw materials. BASF adheres to regulatory requirements and does not conduct animal testing on finished cosmetic ingredients unless mandated by law in specific markets.
