How do we feel about Montanov 68?
I have tried 202 and L, and I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on what to expect from them (They are my favorites as far as emulsifiers go). But i’ve never tried 68… is it worth getting? How does it compare to the other montanovs in terms of feel, stability, etc.?

I have only used it once and make a face cream that a friend likes better than my other ones that I like - but I’m not a huge fan. You won’t know for yourself unless you buy some and test it. It’s easy to use though and you can make a product with just hand stirring. It does take a while (maybe a day) to get to it’s full thickness (in a cream) in my experience. Just buy a small amount and see. Cheers

I like the other two you mentioned better. To me…68 feels more unctuous. So if that is your goal….have at it.

Might just be the perfect emulsifier for an Exxon Valdez type night cream!

Actually an oil spill is exactly what i want for this particular formula im working on. A nice, controlled spill.

Curious, I went the opposite way.
I love 68 (technically the BASF equivalent) and found 202 unpleasant in comparison.
I had to do a label copy of a popular hair styling product that used 68, but only had access to 202. I found the rub-in and spread of 202 was not as uniformly smooth and creamy, and was prone to beading and pilling. In contrast, I couldn’t stop playing with the 68 version - but it is “heavy”.
68 is also cheaper than 202, so I reckon that’s worth trying
