Unlike standard Oleth-5 products, Emulsogen LP is a narrow range ethoxylate resulting in a clear liquid product which can be processed cold. In addition it is clear soluble in a wide range of cosmetic oils. Thus Emulsogen LP is an excellent emulsifier and solubilizer for the cosmetic industry.

The table shows the excellent solubility in many oils:

Emulsogen LP can be used as a nonionic emulsifier and co-emulsifier. Since the product is liquid, the product is cold processable and can be used very flexibly in many cosmetic formulations. Both classic products like traditional emulsions based on nonionic emulsifiers and specialized products, for example self emulsifying blooming bath oils, leave on and rinse off hair conditioners or hair dye emulsions are easily and succesfully made with Emulsogen LP.
As shown in the table, a broad variety of different oil phases can be used with Emulsogen LP.
The special profile of Emulsogen LP in contrast to standard Oleth-5 allows the use in a second application field: as very powerful solubilizer. Clear hair gels and facial toners are examples where the excellent solubiliz-ing activity of Emulsogen LP is frequently used.
The HLB value of Emulsogen LP is given as 9, if a higher HLB value is needed in the final application, we recommend combining the product with another liquid nonionic product, e.g. Genapol UD 080 (Undeceth-8) which has an HLB value of 13.
