Usage & Handling Guide

Add 1-5% (based on total formulation) to your product, adjusting dosage per needs.
Mix with oil phase first (for cosmetics/detergents), then slowly blend with water phase under mild stirring (300-500 RPM).
Maintain 40-60℃ during mixing for better solubility; avoid overheating (>80℃) to preserve performance.
Test small batches first to ensure optimal emulsification and stability.

FAQ

Q: Is Emulsifier O-5 safe for cosmetic products that contact skin?
A: Yes, it meets cosmetic-grade safety standards. It's non-irritating for most skin types and widely used in creams, lotions, and other personal care items, with no harmful residues when used as directed.
Q: Can I mix Emulsifier O-5 with other types of emulsifiers?
A: Absolutely. It blends well with non-ionic or anionic emulsifiers to enhance stability or adjust performance. Test small batches first to ensure compatibility and avoid unexpected texture changes.
Q: What's the recommended storage condition for Emulsifier O-5?
A: Store it in a cool (15-25℃), dry, and sealed container, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage preserves its emulsifying ability for 24 months from the production date.
Q: Will Emulsifier O-5 affect the pH of my final product?
A: It has low pH impact—usually keeping the final formulation's pH within ±0.2 of the original. For pH-sensitive products (e.g., facial serums), test after adding to confirm consistency.
Q: Can I use Emulsifier O-5 in water-based only formulations?
A: No, it works best for oil-water emulsions. In water-only products, it won't give play to emulsifying effects and may cause slight cloudiness; use it only when both oil and water phases exist.
