Booster Emulsifier
Booster Emulsifier is a specialized surfactant-based additive formulated to enhance the stability, texture, and uniformity of emulsions in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations. It acts by reducing surface tension between immiscible liquids such as oil and water, facilitating the formation of stable, homogeneous emulsions. Booster Emulsifier is valued for its ability to improve product appearance, extend shelf life, and enhance sensory properties such as mouthfeel and creaminess. It is typically available as a liquid or powder and compatible with a wide range of ingredients.
Cetyl Palmitate
Cetyl Palmitate is a naturally derived ester formed by the reaction of cetyl alcohol and palmitic acid. It appears as a white to off-white waxy solid with a mild fatty odor. This compound is widely used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and industrial formulations for its emollient, thickening, and texture-enhancing properties. Cetyl Palmitate imparts a smooth, creamy feel to products and contributes to improved stability and consistency in creams, lotions, balms, and ointments. Its film-forming and skin-conditioning attributes make it a preferred ingredient in personal care products as well as in specialty industrial applications.
Clear Emulsion
Clear Emulsion is a transparent or translucent mixture of two immiscible liquids—typically oil and water—stabilized by emulsifying agents to form a stable, homogenous system. This product is widely used in cosmetics and personal care, pharmaceuticals, and specialty industrial applications due to its lightweight texture, ease of absorption, and aesthetic appeal. Clear emulsions offer a visually appealing, non-greasy feel with the advantages of both oil and water phases, delivering moisturizing, protective, and active ingredient-carrying benefits. Their clarity distinguishes them from traditional creamy emulsions, making them popular in modern skincare and cosmetic formulations.
Cocodiethanolamide (CDEA)
Cocodiethanolamide (CDEA) is a viscous, amber to dark brown liquid derived from the reaction of coconut oil fatty acids with diethanolamine. It is a non-ionic surfactant and foam stabilizer commonly used in personal care and cleaning products. CDEA enhances foam quality, viscosity, and skin conditioning properties in formulations. Due to its excellent emulsifying and thickening abilities, it is widely used as a secondary surfactant to boost the performance of primary detergents. It is valued for its biodegradability, mildness, and compatibility with various surfactants and other ingredients in cosmetics and industrial formulations.
Emulsifying Wax Anionic
Emulsifying Wax Anionic is a versatile surfactant blend composed primarily of fatty alcohols (such as cetyl or stearyl alcohol) and anionic surfactants like sodium lauryl sulfate. It is designed to stabilize oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions by reducing interfacial tension between water and oil phases. It appears as white to off-white solid flakes or pellets, with a mild fatty odor and is dispersible in water with agitation and mild heat. Known for its excellent emulsification, cleansing, and thickening properties, this emulsifying wax is widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, household cleaners, and industrial applications.
Galaxy CAPB

Galaxy MW 257( Lutensol A07)
Galaxy MW 257( Lutensol A07), also known commercially as Lutensol A07, is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of ethoxylated alcohols. It is synthesized by ethoxylation of C7 fatty alcohols, resulting in a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) suitable for versatile applications in detergency, emulsification, wetting, and dispersing. This liquid surfactant is valued for its excellent surface-active properties, biodegradability, low toxicity, and compatibility with other formulation ingredients. It is widely used in industrial, household, agricultural, and personal care products to improve formulation stability and performance.
Myristic Acid
Myristic Acid is a saturated fatty acid with a 14-carbon chain, naturally found in nutmeg, coconut oil, palm kernel oil, and butter fat. It appears as a white crystalline solid with a faint odor. It is widely used in the manufacture of soaps, cosmetics, surfactants, and food additives due to its emollient and cleansing properties. Myristic Acid acts as a key intermediate in the production of esters, detergents, and lubricants.
