Xyliance is a vegetable-derived emulsifier approved by Ecocert/Cosmos. Xyliance is able to emulsify a wide range of oil phases without any co-emulsifier. It doesn’t work well at low oil concentrations. Xyliance is more suitable for higher oil concentrations, i.e., 25-40% oil phase in the emulsion, and its application dosage is around 18-20% of the oil phase. Xyliance is an emulsifier that likes high shear. Xyliance should be applied together with an emulsion stabilizer such as xanthan, acacia, guar gum. It creates medium to high viscosity emulsions and creams. Modify the viscosity of the final product by playing with the gum and xyliance concentration. It makes smooth and silky yet stable emulsions with a very nice skin feel. Although the emulsifier itself has a pale yellowish color, the emulsions created with Xyliance have a luxurious white appearance.
