A plant-derived, PEG-free emulsifying system that brings our lotions together beautifully — creating a stable, glossy, and luxuriously soft finish on the skin.

What is Emulium® Kappa?

Emulium® Kappa is a multifunctional, natural-origin emulsifier. It is a carefully balanced blend of plant-based ingredients (listed individually on labels by their INCI names) that work together to combine oil and water into a smooth, stable lotion.

In simple terms, it’s what keeps your lotion creamy, consistent, and beautifully textured.

Where does it come from?

This emulsifying system is derived from natural plant sources including:

• Candelilla wax (from the candelilla plant)
• Jojoba oil
• Rice bran oil
• Plant-derived fatty alcohols and fatty acids

It is PEG-free, meaning it contains no petrochemical-derived polyethylene glycols — making it a preferred choice for those who are sensitive to certain synthetic ingredients.

What is in Emulium® Kappa?

Emulium® Kappa is a carefully balanced blend of plant-derived ingredients that work together as a natural emulsifying system.

It contains:

• Candelilla wax esters for structure and stability
• Jojoba and rice bran–derived polyglyceryl esters to help bind oil and water
• Glyceryl stearate to support smooth emulsification
• Cetearyl alcohol to add creaminess and body,
• Sodium stearoyl lactylate to improve stability and skin feel.

Together, these components create a PEG-free, oil-in-water emulsifier that gives lotions their rich texture, glossy appearance, and soft, cushiony finish.

How does Emulium® Kappa work in skincare?

• Emulsifies – Blends water and oils into a stable oil-in-water lotion.
• Creates gloss & richness – Gives lotions a naturally glossy appearance.
• Luxurious texture – Produces a soft, cushiony feel comparable to silicone-like smoothness (without silicones).
• Long play time – Allows easy spreading and massage before absorbing.
• Lasting comfort – Leaves skin feeling soft, replumped, and baby-smooth.
• Improved stability – Helps prevent separation and extends product consistency over time.

Why we use Emulium® Kappa in our lotions

Our lotions contain nourishing oils, goat’s milk, and water — ingredients that naturally want to separate. This plant-based emulsifying system brings everything together into a stable, silky formula.

We chose this PEG-free emulsifier because it aligns with our commitment to gentle, naturally inspired formulations. It allows us to create lotions that feel rich and luxurious, absorb beautifully, and leave skin soft without heaviness.
