Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate - Emulsifier

Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate contains no no PEGs or ethoxylated ingredients.  It is non-toxic and biodegradable.  Plant-derived and mineral-derived ingredients, non-comedogenic and not a known carcinogen.

It shows outstanding compatibility with organic and inorganic electrolytes, like Aloe Vera and sodium chloride (max 2%), actives and UV filters. It works well with both water soluble ingredients i.e. hydrolyzed proteins, and oil soluble ingredients like vegetable oils, emollient esters, waxes, and silicones.  It can be combined with other emulsifiers and polymers such as Carbomers, Sepimax ZEN, Pemulens, and Sepinov EMT 10.

Common uses include;

• Skincare: Moisturizes, cleanses, and conditions the skin, and enhances the absorption of active ingredients
• Hair care: Improves manageability and texture

Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate supports small droplet formation even with low shear mixers, which increases stability, and lamellar gels, which can stabilize actives while extending the release of oil soluble actives.  It can also suspend pigments, exfoliants or powders. Lamellar gels have low skin irritation potential, which allows manufacture of lotions suitable for people with sensitive skin or allergies.
