ECOMulse, ECOCERT Approved for Organic Products

ECOMulse is a natural source, self-emulsifier for oil in water emulsions. It is ECOCERT approved for use in Certified Organic products.  It contains no ethoxylated ingredients. This system 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 (NMF) constituents that are found in the skin. The lactylates are excellent viscosity enhancers, stabilizers, and conditioners. ECOMulse™ is 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.  Note, because this is based on anionic lactylates, it does not conform to the HLB system for non-ionic surfactants and no HLB number has been determined by the manufacturer.

Formulating Guidelines

ECOMulse should be used in products with an intended final pH of 5 - 7.5.  Acidic ingredients should be added after the emulsion has formed, at cool down and the pH of the finished product adjusted, if needed, to a final pH of 5 - 7.5 to insure a stable emulsion.
