ECOCERT Approved for Organic Products

A naturally sourced, self-emulsifier for oil in water emulsions. It contains no ethoxylated ingredients. This is based on acyl lactylates, which are conditioning to both hair and skin. The anionic lactylates are produced by a reaction between the acyl group of fatty acids and lactic acid. Lactic acid and fatty acids are natural moisturizing factor constituents that are found in the skin. The lactylates are excellent viscosity enhancers, stabilizers, and conditioners.

A complete, balanced and highly desirable emulsification system. When used in lotions and creams, it will provide a soft, conditioned, talc-like feel to skin.
