  Emcol E-607-S and Emcol E-607

  Posted by David08848 on June 21, 2017 at 5:18 pm

  I have a formula I might like to try and looked up these two ingredients.  I found Emcol E-607-S listed as “PEG-60 Castor Oil” but can’t find a listing for Emcol E-607.  Anyone familiar with these two ingredients?  I’ll keep searching…

  I’m not familiar but I did find reference to Emcol E-607S and Emcol E-607L

  It’s not PEG-60 Castor Oil however.

  From former chemical supplier Witco 

  Emcol E-607S - Steapyrium Chloride
  Emcol E-607L - Lapyrium Chloride

  Found in this book on Cosmetic Formulations.

  More info on those ingredients here.

  Perry, Thanks for check those out for me and providing all that information.  I’m not sure this formula is where I want to go with this project.  This part is a little confusing:

  “What Is It?

  Steapyrium
  Chloride and Lapyrium Chloride are white to light cream-colored
  powders. In cosmetics and personal care-products, these ingredients are
  used in hair preparations, including shampoos, as well as in skin care
  and skin-cleansing preparations.

  Why is it used in cosmetics and personal care products?

  Steapyrium
  Chloride and Lapyrium Chloride prevent or inhibit the buildup of static
  electricity when used in the formulation of hair care products. These
  ingredients also help to cleanse the skin or to prevent odor by
  destroying or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms.”

  I’m thinking is was used as an anti-microbial?

  Anyway, I am trying to make an “after-shave” and found some after-shave creams that also contain Witch Hazel in them which has an appeal to me.

  I don’t mind taking ideas from old formulas as along as they work, have ingredients that are easy and inexpensive to acquire and do exactly what they are designed to do without all the extra ingredients for label “wow”!  I’ll keep looking and see what else I can find!  Perry, thanks for the info!  It’s just as helpful to find out that there are some places you shouldn’t go as it is to find that you’re headed in the right direction!

  THe 607 L predominantly C12 would be bactericidal whereas the C18 would be more for Conditioning/antistat i.e. Fly away on hair.Could be used on skin keeping that in mind.
