@tanelise there are many manufacturers. Here is an other https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHiwvwnx1tA
When I tried myself first time, I was like no way lol. The problem with these premixes is price, which can be justified with the simplicity of the technology involved to formulate your product.
I’d like to create myself something similar. Xanthan gum is very easy to work with -

I’ve used Pemulen as single emulsifier and the Ultrez 10 as rheology mod., no fatty alcohols (they interact with Pemulen) and the result is astonishing! Quite an oil phase >20% and the sensorials are great, very light. I will surely do this again! In my next experiment I will be using other emulsifiers with it (btw many emulsifiers interact with Pemulen, depending on the carbon chain length).Tip: disperse both the carbomer and the Pemulen in the oil phase. Add the water phase very very slowly while mixing full speed. I didn’t have one single clump! :blush:
One more thing, if you use something like Pemulen as only emulsifer, you can put a ‘0% emulsifier’ claim on your product.
