Hitecream 3000

Hitecream 3000 – natural O/W emulsifier

INCI:
Potassium Palmitoyl Hydrolyzed Oat Protein, Behenyl Alcohol, Palm Glycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Sucrose Palmitate

Hitecream 3000 is a natural emulsifier of plant origin, composed of a balanced combination of lipids and lipoproteins. In emulsions it forms a lamellar structure (liquid crystals), which enables stable formulations, good spreadability, and helps reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

It is an O/W (oil-in-water) emulsifier, intended primarily for the preparation of light, moisturising emulsions that absorb quickly and leave no heavy or greasy feeling on the skin. Due to these properties, it is particularly suitable for combination and oily skin and for products intended for everyday use.

The emulsifier is effective even without co-emulsifiers and stabilisers and is compatible with a variety of oil-soluble ingredients.
