  Mystery emollient ester

  Posted by Chemist5000 on July 5, 2018 at 5:34 pm

  I have an ingredient listing for an intimate moisturizer.
  I am trying to figure out what exactly is the term “emollient ester” suppose to be.

   Purified Spring Water, Plant Cellulose from Cotton, Isopropyl Palmitate, Polysorbate 20, Dimethicone, Emollient Ester, Potassium Sorbate

  Could be any of hundreds of esters, I suggest experimenting with esters you have in stock, trying light - medium - heavy.

  I noticed they are only using Poly -20 as an emulsifier between the dimethicone and emollient ester.  I am wondering would Poly-20 be able to emulsify both with out separation.
