Perfo A Wide Range of Sensorial Possibilities


It is a common misconception that W/O emulsions are always thick, heavy and sticky. This does not have to be the case. Cithrol PGTL allows t he formulator to get creative and experiment with a large variety of formulation types and sensories.


Cithrol PGTL can be used to create:


High internal phase (HIP) emulsions, which give a light, non-oily skin-feel, whilst helping the formulator formulate


cost effectively


More fluid, sprayable formulations 


Traditional thick consumers who (e.g. baby care,


, rich creams – a sensory sought after by may associate this texture with efficacy night creams)


 Colour cosmetics, such as foundations


Various formulations containing Cithrol PGTL were analysed by the trained sensory panel at Croda and the results plotted in relation to each other on a scale of light to rich and fluid to viscous.


The resulting plot demonstrated scattered results due to the large variety of sensories displayed by the various formulations.


formulations Extreme Emulsions


A simple W/O formulation, containing 1% Cithrol PGTL and a single oil phase, will be stable with levels of oil and water as shown in Figure 2 bellow.

Pe f rmance Effortless Environmental Impact


In today’s world, as the consumer becomes ever more environmentally conscious


 y,, it has never been more important to


consider sustainability and impact on the environment. Cithrol PGTL offers some excellent benefits, including: 100% bio-based


Manufactured without ethoxylates, propoxylates or PEG 


Cold-processable (formulation dependant) c


Four benchmark emulsifiers were also investigated, and it was found that onlyp


y one benchmark passed the 91.7% water limit.


All benchmarks failed when the oil phase was at 19%. These results indicate that Cithrol PGTL has great versatility


and is suitable for use in a wide range of formulations with a spread of water and oil content.


Cithrol PGTL can be used in formulations with a variety of sensories
