Knowledge
Traditional emulsifiers, while effective, often require hot processing and can leave a waxy residue on the skin. In contrast, fiber-based emulsifiers are cold-processible, saving time and energy, and offering diverse textures and skin feels. These fibers, sourced from food industry waste, include soluble fibers (like pectin and gums) and insoluble fibers, which are crucial for creating Pickering emulsions that use solid particles to stabilize the oil-water interface.Learn More
