Hello. I have similar problem with Sepinov EMT 10, but my pH is 4.5, and I cant raise it. When I tried, viscosity decreased drastically.

My formulation is:

Sepinov EMT10 0,7

MCT 3,0

Dimethicone 4,0

Lipocire A SG 4,0

Glycerol 6,0

Urea 3,0

Allantoin 0,5

Aquaxyl 3,0

Geogard 221 0,8

Tocopheryl acetate 0,5

Water ad 100,0

pH is 4,5 (with or without allantoin and urea-I added them later because I wanted to see will pH raise when I add them). When I added 1 drop 30% NaOH pH went to 6,8..and viscosity decreased. I ordered L-arginine, so I’ll try with it. But until L arginin come, I’d like to exchange my thoughts with someone who has experience with Sepinov EMT.

Question: seppic claims that Sepinov EMT is preneutralized polymer. I dont have pH problems with their other polymer - Sepimax Zen, pH is always around 5,2. Why Sepinov EMT gives so low pH, and is there in my formulation any ingredient that maybe lowers pH?

I saw that some companies have products with Sepinov EMT, and they use citric acid, so I dont know where is my mistake.
