Lysofix

Lysofix™, by the personal care division, is a natural emulsifier extracted from non-GMO soybeans.  Our process generates a lysophospholipid that creates an emulsion that is superior in stability and usability.  Lysofix is a flexible emulsifier in both formulation and manufacturing.  Lysofix provides stable emulsification in either cold or hot processing without a thickening effect.


INCI: Glycerin (and) Glycine soja (Soybean) Seed Extract

 


Application Rate
The suggested application rate of Lysofix is between
3.5-5.0% as a primary emulsifier and between 1.0-3.0% as a co-emulsifier.


Personal Care Applications
Typical applications for Lysofix include: skin care creams and lotions, hair care treatments and conditioners, sun care lotions, baby care, color cosmetics.
