AminoSensyl SC lotion emulsifier from Inolex….
Got a sample of Emulsense from Inolex the other day, and love the feel….but could not stand the smell…which seemed to get stronger once it was included into a lotion formula. When I contacted the company, they recommended an ‘improved’, next generation product called: AminoSensyl SC.
1) anyone used this, and have any thoughts about it?
2) I liked some of the cationic features of Emulsense…. In general terms (regarding lotions)… what are the benefits or drawbacks of a Cationic emulsifier?

yes, I´ve got a sample and tested it: Aminosensyl doesn´t smell like Emulsense. I really love this emulsifier, easy to handle, great skin feeling.
BUT: I don´t like the haptics, because the emulsion breaks too quickly, releases lots of water, and then it “slides” over the skin on a water film. I tried many formulations, combining various co-emulsifiers, with and without gel formers, adding Aminosensyl to the oil- or waterphase… always the same. Same problem with Emulsense.
Maybe anyone of you knows how to solve that? Would be great, thanks! -

You are saying….when applied to the skin, it feels as though the emulsion is breaking? You are not saying….the emulsion is causing a problem…while still in the bottle? I had not noticed that with the Emulsense sample I had created….a watery feeling after application (If I understand what you are saying.)

the Aminosensyl Emulsion has a great texture, no problems in the bottle.
I like watery feelings after application
but during application the water is released at once and that causes a feeling like the oil is slipping on a water film; once the water has evaporated, there is a stopping feeling like rubbing the fingers over a rubber ball. I don´t know how to describe it better

Did you get the same sensation…when you tried the Emulsense? Since that is the only sample product I have on hand… I wanted to see if I could experience what you were describing.

I have been working with that emulsifier for quite some time and I understand what you’re describing. The best solution I have found so far is to combine it with polyquaternium to provide better slide and final skin feel. Also, best thickener to combine it with I find that is cetyl alcohol.
