Acquacream® 50

INCI NAME: Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-20 Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 60, Cetyl Palmitate

A high-performance conditioning wax, ACQUACREAM® 50 acts as a versatile, self-thickening O/W emulsifier, offering excellent functionality in a wide range of personal care products. Its phospholipid-like structure promotes the formation of organized systems with thixotropic behavior and balanced oil and water release, contributing to more stable emulsions with a conditioned and pleasant skin feel.

It has high substantivity, promoting better adhesion and performance in formulations, as well as contributing to greater water resistance, especially in sunscreens. Its phase-inversion capability aids in the stabilization of complex systems, making it particularly suitable for formulations that are difficult to stabilize, such as hair straighteners, ensuring robustness, versatility, and superior performance.
