emulsifiers & thickeners

Elmulsifer ingredients are used to bind together the ingredients in your DIY skin care recipes. They are often required when you mix ingredients that normally wouldn't mix, such as oil and water. Emulsifiers can also be useful when dissolving some actives. Thickeners can be used to create water based, gel like serums.
