Emulsifiers
Overview
Oil and water do not naturally mix, which is where emulsifiers come in. These hardworking ingredients help bring water-based and oil-based ingredients together to create smooth, consistent products such as creams, lotions, and conditioners.
At Lovebee, we use naturally derived emulsifiers chosen for their performance, skin feel, and compatibility with the rest of the formula. The right emulsifier helps create the texture of a product, from a light and silky lotion to a rich, protective cream, while also helping it remain stable over time.
Emulsifiers may work quietly behind the scenes, but they play an essential role in many of our formulas. We use them to carefully balance them with the oils, butters, waters, and botanical ingredients around them.
