03About Thickeners and Emulsifiers

Thickeners and emulsifiers determine the texture, flow and stability of a formula. In creams and lotions, emulsifiers keep the oil and water phases together without separating; in gels, shampoos and liquid products, the desired viscosity is achieved with thickeners such as Xanthan Gum, Carbomer and Hydroxyethylcellulose.
