Micromulse® Foam
Micromulse® Foam provides a natural alternative to synthetic foaming agents, allowing formulators to create oil-to-foam textures with a mild surfactant blend derived from natural sources. This effect is made possible by microemulsion technology, which keeps the surfactant stable in a transparent formulation until water is added and the surfactant is released.

- HIGHLIGHTS
Micromulse® Foam is based on amino acid surfactants, known for their mildness and moisturizing properties. They are derived from a variety of vegetable sources including Rice, Barley and Wheat – making it vegan suitable as well as ideal for sensitive skin formulations.; Using a cold process, Micromulse® Foam enables formulators to create transforming oil-to-foam textures that can be used in products such as shampoo or foaming cleansers.; This transforming oil-to-foam effect is made possible by microemulsion technology, which holds the surfactant in a stable, transparent formulation until water is added and the surfactant is released.
