Q1: What is the primary function of Emulsogen LCN 070 in formulations?
A: Emulsogen LCN 070 is a non-ionic surfactant designed primarily to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions and improve solubilization of hydrophobic actives in aqueous systems. It supports uniform dispersion, enhances formulation clarity or physical stability, and contributes to mildness in personal care applications.
Q2: Is Emulsogen LCN 070 suitable for rinse-off or leave-on personal care products?
A: Yes — it is widely used in both rinse-off (e.g., shampoos, body washes) and leave-on (e.g., lotions, creams) formulations. Its low irritation potential and compatibility with common cosmetic ingredients make it appropriate for sensitive-skin applications when formulated within recommended usage guidelines.
Q3: How does Emulsogen LCN 070 perform in high-electrolyte or acidic environments?
A: As a non-ionic ethoxylated surfactant, Emulsogen LCN 070 demonstrates good tolerance to electrolytes and maintains performance across a broad pH range (typically pH 3–10), making it suitable for formulations containing salts, acids, or other challenging co-ingredients.
Q4: Can Emulsogen LCN 070 be used as a primary emulsifier in O/W cream systems?
A: It can serve effectively as a co-emulsifier or solubilizer in many O/W systems, especially where light texture and clarity are desired. For highly structured or anhydrous-oil-rich creams, pairing with a primary emulsifier (e.g., fatty alcohol-based or polymer emulsifiers) is often recommended to ensure long-term physical stability.
