LIQUID CRYSTALS

RICH TEXTURE

DIMETHICONE-LIKE

SESAMULS® OW is a non-ionic O/W emulsifying system derived from renewable sources, designed to create rich, dimethicone-like textures with a powdery, easy-to-absorb skin feel.

Used between 3% and 6% as the only emulsifier, it allows the incorporation of polar to medium-polar oil phases, including systems based on natural oils.

Its non-ionic behavior makes it compatible in weakly cationic environments (e.g. conditioners and hair creams).

SESAMULS® OW is considered “readily biodegradable“ and safe for aquatic environment.

EFFICACY TESTS

LIQUID CRYSTALS

SESAMULS® OW forms liquid crystal structures that retain the aqueous phase and enhance the moisturizing effect of the formula, contributing to highly stable emulsions.
