Emulsifiers
Emulsifiers are one of the most important components of a cream or lotion. Their function is to bind the oils and water together to create a product that slides over the skin and is easily absorbed. The following are the most frequently used emulsifiers:
Emulsifying Wax - E-Wax
Stearic Acid - Triple Pressed Vegetable
Incroquat Behenyl TMS-50
Polawax NF Emulsifying Wax
Cetyl Alcohol
Humectants
Humectants are ingredients that draw moisture out of the air and to the skin and also prevent the moisture from being lost. Here are some of the most popular humectants used in skin care:
Butters
Shea Butter Refined
Cocoa Butter Deodorized - Wafer
Mango Butter
Cocoa Butter ORGANIC Wafers
Aloe Butter
Skin Care Oils
Skin Care Oils are one of the most important components to a lotion. Your choice of oils used will hugely affect the composition of the formula. A high percentage of oils in the formula will cause the end product to be very moisturizing, taking a long time to penetrate the skin and leaving a lasting layer on the skin. It is important to choose oils that balance the formula, making sure there is not an abundance of oils that are too heavy, or alternatively, oils that are too light and ending up with a cream or lotion that does not provide the skin with enough moisture.

Hydrosols
Floral Hydrosols are natural distillations of botanicals and plants. Collected during the distillation of essential oils, hydrosols are actually the pure condensation that form during the steaming process. They do have therapeutic value, although much less than essential oils, and are a wonderful replacement for water in creams and lotions.
