Having trouble with Montanov™ & Olivem 1000 emulsifiers? The soaping effect – the impact of shear, viscosity, and melting point with naturally compliant formula (part seven).

by

Welcome to part seven of this series on troubleshooting Montanov™ emulsifiers! In today’s post, we’ll look at the impact of shear, viscosity, and surface tension on the soaping effect in emulsions made with these emulsifiers. This post also applies to Olivem 1000 as they use similar emulsifiers as the Montanov™ series. As you’ve seen over...

by

Today, in part five of this series, we’ll be looking at the hand & body base formula and modifying them to include esters as our structuring agents. These can have a lower melting point than the fatty alcohols and acids, plus they have lower surface tension, which we know can reduce soaping. This post also...
