Emulwitor 375 is a partially neutralized ester of mono- and diglycerides of unsaturated fatty acids with lactic and citric acids. This food-grade (anionic) O/W emulsifier is free of palm oil derivatives. Instead, it is based on sunflower oil and sugar beets of local, i.e., Central European, origin.
 
This liquid yet highly viscous emulsifier allows for pleasantly light formulations that leave a long-lasting, velvety feel on the skin. Emulwitor 375 is highly soluble in fatty oils but also disperses well in water. In principle, the emulsifier can also be processed cold; however, better results can be achieved using “hot processing.” This versatile emulsifier, which functions without issue in the pH range of 4–7, is very well tolerated by the skin and mucous membranes and is highly effective even at low dosages.
 
Since Emulwitor 375 contains unsaturated fatty acids, the use of antioxidants (e.g., Flavoxan 14 or plant-based vitamin E together with vitamin C palmitate) is recommended in formulations.
 
Emulwitor 375 should be stored in a cool (T < 25 °C), dry, and dark place whenever possible.
