AMPHISOL® K is an anionic oil/water emulsifier and stabilizer for the preparation of skin-care and sun-care products. It is used to prepare cost-effective, homogeneous and stable emulsions over a wide pH range (4–9), but preferably at the pH of the skin (pH 5.5–5.8).
Because it is used at low levels, AMPHISOL® K is well-suited for the development of quality stable water-resistant suncare products.
