Phytomulse™ Coconut is a plant-based, non-ionic surfactant designed to simplify and differentiate emulsion formulation. It is part of the Phytomulse™ Product Line, which offers a range of complete emulsifying systems that combine ease of use, efficiency, and sustainability.
Phytomulse™ Coconut utilizes coconut as its primary feedstock, which is known for its numerous benefits for skin, hair, and nail health. Coconut is rich in medium chain triglycerides (MCT), vitamin E, and polyphenols, making it an ideal ingredient for creating a youthful-looking aesthetic.
This emulsifying system is specifically tailored to work well with high oil phases, typically above 30%, which can be challenging to stabilize in O/W emulsions. Phytomulse™ Coconut contains a blend of cetearyl alcohol and glyceryl stearate, which not only act as effective emulsifiers but also provide functional benefits such as increased opacity, viscosity, emollience, and improved barrier function.
Formulators can enjoy greater flexibility and customization options with Phytomulse™ Coconut, as it is compatible with various emollients, including natural oils, silicones, esters, and hydrocarbons. Additionally, it can be combined with different polymeric thickening agents, natural gums, and other viscosity modifiers and stabilizers to create a diverse range of textures and finishes.
When used in emulsions, Phytomulse™ Coconut delivers a luxurious, soft sensation that lasts long after application. It produces an immediate improvement in sensorial aesthetics, spreadability, and absorption, resulting in an elegant, shiny appearance on the skin. Overall, Phytomulse™ Coconut simplifies the process of creating stable, efficient, and high-performance emulsions while offering a sustainable and natural alternative to traditional emulsifying systems.

This is the first time using this emulsifier. I love it! So much easier and time saver just using one emulsifier. My lotion came out so fluffy and creamy. Thanks for selling a wonderful product.
