Broadening the choice of natural emulsifiers by using synergistic fiber blends
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.

Formulation advantages of transparent oil thickening
The article highlights a new solution for naturally modifying the rheology of cold-processed oil gels, focusing on transparent oil thickening. Formulators seek quick, efficient ingredients to meet consumer expectations for viscosity and flow behavior in oil-based products. Traditional thickening agents like polymers and organoclays have limitations. A new natural blend containing olive squalane, hydrogenated ethylhexyl olivate, and hydrogenated castor oil with sebacic acid offers an effective alternative. This blend is cold-processible, forms stable and transparent gels, and is compatible with various oils and cosmetic ingredients. It enhances product texture, making it suitable for a range of applications, from facial oils to sunscreens and lip balms, meeting consumer demands for luxurious, stable, and innovative cosmetic products.
