TEGO® Care LTP MB

This emulsifier blend has good compatibility with UV filters and active ingredients.

In cold processed formulations TEGO® Care LTP should be combined with polymeric stabilizers/thickeners in order to adjust the viscosity and the stability profile of the emulsions. For body lotions, combinations of 0.1 – 0.3 % TEGO® Carbomer 141 or TEGO® Carbomer 140 with Xanthan Gum proved to be most effective. For the preparation of sprayable emulsions, a combination of TEGO® Carbomer 141 and TEGO® Carbomer 341 ER (Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylates Crosspolymer) proved to be most effective.

In hot processed creams TEGO® Care LTP is preferably combined with consistency enhancers such as TEGIN® M Pellets (Glyceryl Stearate) and TEGO® Alkanol 18  (Stearyl Alcohol). The addition of small amounts of TEGO® Carbomer 134 (0.1 – 0.2 %) results in improved freeze stability and in improved maintenance of the cream-like consistency at temperatures above 40°C.
