In the quest for cleaner, eco-conscious cosmetics, DropCare® CG68 emerges as a game-changer. This plant-derived, PEG-free emulsifier combines performance, safety, and sustainability – all while forming stabilizing liquid crystals in your formulations. Here’s why it deserves a spot in your next skincare or haircare creation.
✅ 100% Natural Origin:
Derived from coconut oil fatty acids and maize glucose.
✅ PEG-Free & Nonionic:
Zero ethoxylated groups, ethylene oxide, or dioxane risks.
✅ Liquid Crystal Technology:
Forms stable, skin-friendly lamellar structures that enhance emulsion integrity.
✅ ECOCERT-Certified:
Meets rigorous natural/organic standards.
✅ Skin & Eco-Friendly:
Non-irritating (per CIR) and 100% biodegradable in 28 days (OECD 301B).
Property | Specification |
---|---|
INCI | Cetearyl Glucoside & Cetearyl Alcohol |
Appearance | White to off-white granular solid |
Dosage | 0.1–5% (Essence to creams) |
pH Range | 4.5–7.5 (5% aqueous solution) |
Melting Point | 61–65°C |
Shelf Life | 2 years (room temperature, sealed) |
DropCare® CG68 delivers exceptional emulsion stability across rigorous tests:
Normal Conditions: 100% emulsion index (no stratification).
Centrifugal Stress (4,000 rpm, 10 min): >70% emulsion index.
Freeze-Thaw Cycles (-18°C↔25°C): >95% stability after 2 cycles.
📌 Note: Stability decreases at extreme pH (pH ≤3 or ≥9). Optimal performance between pH 5–7.
Under polarized microscopy (400x), CG68 forms lamellar liquid crystals at the oil-water interface. These structures:
Enhance emulsion stability.
Improve active delivery.
Create unique sensory textures.
Crucially, non-polar oils (e.g., white oil) do NOT disrupt crystal formation!
Product Type | Recommended Dosage | Texture Outcome |
---|---|---|
Serums/Essences | 0.1–1% | Translucent emulsions |
Lotions | 1–3% | Light, fluid milks |
Creams | 3–5% | Rich, stable creams |
Sunscreens | 2–4% | High SPF compatibility |
Hair Conditioners | 1–3% | Silky, non-greasy feel |
Compatible With:
Silicones, plant oils, and cationic surfactants.
Clean & Green: No PEGs, solvents, or synthetic reagents.
Future-Proof: Meets global biodegradability regulations.
Performance-Driven: Unmatched stability in stress tests.
Texture Innovator: Enables translucent→opaque textures with minimal dosage adjustments.
DropCare® CG68 isn’t just an emulsifier – it’s a commitment to sustainable, high-performance cosmetics. Whether you’re crafting a featherweight essence or a rich anti-aging cream, its liquid crystal technology ensures your formulas stand the test of time (and temperature!).
