Emollients – softening and beautifying components for a silky skin feel

The emollients category brings together raw materials that improve spreadability, slip and the overall feel of cosmetics. In practice, they deliver softness without a heavy film, smoothing of texture and a better sensory profile of creams, serums, lotions and hair care products.

The range includes light esters and dry oils, modern plant-based silicone alternatives and lipid softeners for shower and shampoo formulations. Each product has clearly specified INCI and is suitable for both artisanal and professional cosmetic manufacturing.

Below are the main groups of emollients with links to specific products in this category.

Light esters and dry touch oils

They absorb quickly, reduce greasy feel and improve spreadability even at higher oil content. You can learn more about their use with the products Isoamyl Laurate and Hemiskvalan.

Plant-based silicone alternatives (INOLEX)

They provide silicone-like slip and shine without silicones – suitable for leave-in and rinse-off. Details can be found on the product pages LexFeel N350 MB and LexFeel Natural.

Lipid softeners and lipid layer enhancers

They support skin comfort, reduce the feeling of dryness and increase smoothness after washing. More information can be found for Glyceryl Oleate.

Texturizing and co-emulsifying glycerin esters

They stabilize texture and improve the dispersion of the oil phase in emulsions. Uses in creams and body lotions are described for the product Glyceryl Caprylate/Caprate.

Softness and smoothness with lactate derivatives

They provide a smooth touch and support conditioning properties in hair and body care. For technical details, see Lauryl Lactyl Lactate.

Polyols for smoothness and a richer feel

They contribute to a fine, velvety texture and reduce drag during application. Uses in balms or creams are described for the product Maltitol.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the right emollient for my formulation?

Choose according to the desired skin feel, viscosity and product type. Light esters (Isoamyl Laurate, Hemiskvalan) reduce greasy feel, plant-based “silicone-like” alternatives (LexFeel) improve slip and shine, glycerol esters (Glyceryl Oleate/Caprylate) support texture and comfort.

How much emollient should be added to an emulsion or balm?

Typically 1–10 % depending on the goal: 1–3 % to improve slip, 3–6 % for smoothness and reduced tackiness, 6–10 % for a richer feel. Follow the recommendations of the specific raw material and monitor formulation stability.

Can several emollients be combined?

Yes. Combining a light dry touch emollient with a richer lipid softener delivers balanced slip and comfort. In hair care, plant-based silicone alternatives are also suitable for shine and improved combability.

Are these emollients also suitable for shampoos and shower gels?

Yes, several emollients reduce the degreasing effect of surfactants and increase the smoothness of skin and hair. When dosing, take into account compatibility with the surfactants used and the viscosity of the final product.
