Cold processable
Adding to the enhanced sustainability profile, the ingredient is also liquid, cold preocessable and can be used as the primary emulsifier to stablilise a formulation with in an as much as a 35% oily phase.
The ingredient also hits on a number of crucial tick boxes for formulators, which including complying with ISO 16128 natural origin requirements and OECD requirements for it to be 90 – 100% biodegradable.
On top of that it is also China compliant, giving the ingredient a worldwide appeal that the development team says will help give formulators greater freedom and creativity.
