Spring, Sunshine, and a Burst of New Natural Emulsifiers

As the weather warms up, skin care takes center stage for many consumers looking to minimize the effects of the sun and wind as they spend more time outdoors. With the right emulsifier, a cream or lotion can provide a high level of moisturization as well as a luxurious cushiony feel to make your product stand out from the crowd. Koster Keunen’s new offerings, Kostol NatureMuls and Kostol Natural E, are Non-GMO, natural O/W emulsifiers that combine desirable natural provenance with highly beneficial formulation properties.

From the firmness of hair styling products to the effortless flow of eye serums, consumers have come to expect that every texture is possible and will be ready at their fingertips. And more often, they are looking for those dependable textures to meet their growing expectations of natural, sustainable, and traceable ingredient lists.

Kostol NatureMuls brings a lot to the table. It ticks a number of current market trend boxes, as a natural, PEG-free emulsifier that is US-made, and fully traceable. Kostol NatureMuls acts as a barrier to moisture loss, so it enhances emollient ingredient performance. It creates formulas with medium to long emulsion break, which allows you to formulate rich creams, eye serums, and other skin care products that require silky, luxurious texture. The Night Cream formula highlights the use of Kostol NatureMuls to create that highly desired texture.

Kostol Natural E is a strong emulsifier that also checks off all the boxes for eco-conscious consumers, being natural and plant based. It can be used as a primary or secondary emulsifier, depending on the texture you are looking for. It will thicken well and holds high levels of solids and oils, making it a top choice for formulations from lotions to body butters. At the same time, Kostol Natural E allows your formulation team to create suitable textures, even in challenging systems such as sulfate-free surfactant systems. In the Double-Cream Luxury Cleanser, Kostol Natural E provides a soft, pleasant feel.
