koemulgantteja

Koemulgantteja is a term used in some cosmetic science discussions, particularly in Korean-language sources, to describe agents that act as co-emulsifiers. In these contexts, koemulgantteja refers to ingredients that work with a primary emulsifier to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions rather than acting as the sole emulsifying agent.

Mechanism: Co-emulsants can strengthen the interfacial film around oil droplets, modulate the viscosity of the continuous phase, and help prevent droplet movement that leads to coalescence and creaming. They often function through synergistic interactions with the main emulsifier and may influence texture and feel.

Applications: The concept is commonly discussed in the formulation of creams and lotions where stable, smooth textures are desired. Co-emulsants can contribute to longer shelf life, better spreadability, and compatibility with active ingredients.

Examples and classes: In practice, co-emulsants may include secondary surfactants, certain polymers, or natural emulsifiers that complement the primary emulsifier. The exact composition varies by product and region, and there is no single canonical list associated with the term.

Regulation and research: The use of co-emulsants is governed by cosmetic safety regulations in the relevant jurisdiction. The term “koemulgantteja” is not universally standardized, and references tend to discuss co-emulsification in broader terms rather than prescribing a fixed ingredient set.
