PolyAquol™ LW

PolyAquol™-LW, a patented, naturally derived polyglycerol-based O/W emulsifier that redefines emulsification processes. This innovative emulsifier excels at forming low-viscosity emulsions in cold-process environments, making it ideal for "one-pot" formulations and low-energy processes that don't require heat or homogenization. Whether incorporated in the water or oil phase, PolyAquol™-LW offers unmatched versatility. With Cosmos certification and palm-free origin, it’s the perfect choice for green formulations. Thanks to its advanced molecular design, it surpasses emulsifiers with similar chemical compositions in performance and stability.
