Cold processable wo emulsifier for water in oil emulsions
INCI
Polyglyceryl-6 Pentaoleate, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Malic Acid
SESAMULS® WO is a water in oil emulsifier obtained from renewable sources through the esterifcation of polyglycerin-6 to olive oil fatty acids whereas the natural Malic Acid acts as a catalyst.
It allows rich emulsions with a nourishing feel. Easy to use, also in cold processing, and well-tolerated by the skin, it is remarkably versatile in terms of formulation and compatibility with all active ingredients
SESAMULS® WO is ideal in sun care products for mineral filters dispersion and improves makeup products shine.
Three water-in-oil (WO) suncare systems with theoretical SPF 30 were formulated using mineral UV filters and the respective emulsifier at recommended concentrations. Spectrophotometric analysis of static SPF (Fig. 1) shows that OLEAMULS® WO enhances SPF, ensuring adequate protection.
A sunscreen is labeled “water resistant” (WR) if its SPF effectiveness remains above 50% of the initial SPF after two 20-minute water immersions. SESAMULS® WO outperforms the benchmark in maintaining water resistance, approaching the maximum level (Fig. 2).
3.0 – 6.0%
Moisturizing and nourishing creams for face and body care, even for the most sensitive skin types. Excellent dispersal of chemical and physical UV filters, as well as coloring pigments for make up.
