oliveem 1000 and Tego Care PBS (Polyglyceryl-6 Stearate, Polyglyceryl-6 Behenate
Hello, does anyoane ever mixed those two toghether? Oliceem as a co surfactant and Tego Care PBS 6 as a emusifier or viceversa? Thank you

Why would you want to mix those two?
Tego Care PBS 6 works well on its own, it doesn’t need another emulsifier.

Thank you 🥰
Do you know how much parfume / fragrance tolarate?

As much as it is safe- conform IFRA guidance.
Some details from manufacturer’s guidance:
“Difficult to stabilize ingredients like electrolytes
and high amounts of urea or ethanol are well
tolerated by emulsions based on TEGO® Care
PBS 6.TEGO® Care PBS 6 is suitable for the formulation
of O/W emulsions with all types of cosmetic oils
at a pH of 4.0 to 8.5.TEGO® Care PBS 6 is suitable for systems preserved with natural preservatives such as organic
acids (e. g. benzoic acid and sorbic acid).The recommended usage concentration of
TEGO® Care PBS 6 is approx. 2.5 to 4.0% in lotions
and sprays.Typical oil phase contents of emulsions based on
TEGO® Care PBS 6 are 10 - 30% for lotions and
10 – 20% for sprays.Typical combinations for O/W lotions are 2.5 –
4.0% TEGO® Care PBS 6 with up to 3.0%
consistency enhancers. Suitable combinations
include TEGIN® M Pellets (Glyceryl Stearate) and
TEGO® Alkanol 18 (Stearyl Alcohol) or TEGO®
Alkanol 1618 (Cetearyl Alcohol) in a ratio of
50:50.”- meaning from the “up to 3% consistency enhancers”, 1/2 would be glyceryl stearate and 1/2 would be either Stearyl alcohol, or cetearyl alcohol

thank you. I will let you know about the project 🙂

TEGO CARE PBS 6 MB is a perfect nonionic emulsifier to pair with Olivem1000 if you are creating a oil in water emulsion such as a cream with added electrolytes. You NEED a nonionic emulsifier to pair with Olivem 1000 as it is Anionic and the nonionic emulsifer will add mildness. It should also help with excess rub in time that Olivem1000 tends to create (soaping effect). If you experience excess rub in time using Span 60 at less than 2% (or another low hlb waxy nonionic emulsifier) can help eliminate that problem. With emulsions you also should use a gum or polymer to add stability.
You CANNOT use it alone to create a stable emulsion. Over time it will likely separate. Try testing this doing a freeze/thaw test for at LEAST 5 days. If it shows signs of separation, reformulate.

I think you meant OM 1000 is non-ionic, and best paired with something that has a charge, for ideal stability. 😉

thank you all, unfortunatelly, both of the emulsifiers doesn’t tolarate high amount of fragrance so, I will keep looking ( I saw Geltrap technology from Seppic and I will try it)
