Skin care

Creating natural emulsions with a luxurious skin-feel is a challenging task. Sisterna® sucrose esters are excellent emulsifiers for both oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) skin care emulsions. Furthermore they provide an excellent touch as well as improving smoothness, emolliency and moisture level of the skin.

O/W emulsions

Sisterna® sucrose esters with a medium to high HLB value are recommended for the development of O/W emulsions.

In O/W emulsions Sisterna® sucrose esters

  • Show very good emulsification properties with oils of different polarity, including vegetable and mineral oils, medium polarity and silicon oils;
  • Are suitable emulsifiers for the formation of traditional as well as lamellar liquid crystal type emulsions;
  • Provide an excellent skin feel, largely independent of the oil phase;
  • Improve skin smoothness, emolliency and moisturisation;
  • Provide a cooling effect.

W/O emulsions

Sisterna® sucrose esters with a low HLB value are recommended for the development of W/O emulsions.

In W/O emulsions Sisterna® sucrose esters

  • Improve the spreading properties, making W/O formulations comparable to O/W emulsions;
  • Eliminate the oily/greasy sensation typical of W/O emulsions;
  • Are very effective in the presence of a high level of powders.
