Crème-gels are a delightfully light product form that helps deliver hydration, emolliency and actives. They don’t need traditional emulsifiers, but instead, as their name suggests, are a cream in a moisturising-gel form. They’re particularly suited to skin types where heavy emolliency is not desired – those prone to acne or oily skin types, Asian and African/Caribbean skin types and male skin care products.
Standard polymers are not usually sufficient to stabilise the high lipid content still used in these product types, so special ‘polymeric emulsifiers’ are used instead. These polymeric emulsifiers are a special blend of polymer + surfactant + lipid that enable stable crème-gels to be formed with a unique sensory profile. The amount to use in formulas is also significantly different to how traditional emulsifiers are used – often, less is best!
Crème-gels can also be cold processed – saving manufacturing time and costs; or can be mixed with a small input of emulsifier for an even creamier end product.
In this video, Belinda Carli explains the unique sensory properties of crème-gels, and explains the concept of the polymeric emulsifier, and what to look for when making your ingredient selections. She also talks through special processing needs, what to look for when determining required input, and how to alter the sensory and viscosity results of your finished products. Get making crème-gels, find out how – watch now!
