PolyAquol™ VO4
PolyAquol™-VO4 is an innovative, patented technology that redefines emulsions by creating a true Water-and-Oil Fusion (W+O). This 100% natural, Cosmos-certified, palm-free emulsifier, derived from polyglyceryl and oleic acid derivatives, performs exceptionally well even with 100% vegetable oils. PolyAquol™-VO4 enables the creation of cold-process emulsions with up to 80% internal water phase, providing unmatched control over viscosity. At low concentrations, it ensures stable, high-performance emulsions with luxurious sensory properties, surpassing competitors in both robustness and sensory experience, making it the perfect choice for innovative and sustainable cosmetic formulations.

- Formulation Procedures
Forms stable W/O emulsion using cold or warm processes. Has to be added to oil phase of an emulsion, to which the water phase is incorporated slowly while stirring intensively. The coarsely dispersed pre-emulsion is then homogenized. The temperature of the water and oil phase should be approximately the same. In presence of a liquid oil phase, heating during emulsification process is not mandatory.
