In the world of cosmetic formulation, polymers play a key role: they are responsible for providing texture, stability, sensorial experience, and rheological behavior to products. But what exactly are ...
Emollients
Emollients for cosmetics
Emollients are substances that provide cosmetic formulations with sensory characteristics such as spreadability and the skin feel of the product. Additionally, they help retain skin moisture by reducing water loss from the outer layer (epidermis) and supply lipids to the skin. They maintain skin softness and flexibility and form semi-occlusive films that offer moisturizing benefits.
Emollients affect the consistency of cosmetic formulas, as well as the skin feel, moisture, and lubrication. They assist in active ingredient delivery, solubilize UV filters, and disperse pigments. Different emollients offer varying dispersibility and viscosities, which influence texture and sensory perception in formulations.
