ME‑35 – Speciality Emulsifier for Cleansing Oils, Bath Oils & Sprayable Lotions
A mild, high‑performance blend of sorbiteth‑30 tetraoleate and sorbitan sesquioleate – provides excellent stability, low‑temperature clarity, and a refreshing, non‑greasy after‑feel.
Product Overview:
ME‑35 is a versatile oil‑soluble emulsifier that disperses readily in water to form stable, fine emulsions. It is specifically designed for:
-
Transparent cleansing oils – dissolves makeup and sebum, rinses clean without oily residue.
-
Bath / shower oils – turns milky upon contact with water (milk bath effect).
-
Sprayable lotions & emulsions – offers excellent atomisation, stability, and a light skin feel.
Because ME‑35 can be dissolved in oils and also dispersed in water, it functions as a primary or auxiliary emulsifier in creams and lotions. The manufacturing process can be cold or hot – no special equipment required.
