  • What is the lightest feeling anionic emulsifier?

    Posted by Graillotion on November 26, 2020 at 12:31 am

    I am using extremely small amounts of an anionic emulsifier to eliminate phase inversion with Montanov 202.  The first one I tried Eumulgin SG, even at .125% ruins the carefully crafted texture of a super lite cream.
    So looking for a anionic that will not increase the viscosity (much) or make the pickup much heavier.

    I have GSC on hand, but have not yet tried it.  In the past, GSC has not provided me with textures I appreciate.

    Well, I broke down and used the GSC last night, and can confirm that GSC makes a lighter pickup than Eumulgin, even though I used it at a higher rate.
