Ingredient Spotlight- Emulium Kappa MB

By Gattefossé

If you are working with lamellar emulsions and want to truly understand what is happening inside your cream, this guide is for you.

Emulium Kappa MB is often described as a “natural, PEG-free emulsifier that creates elegant textures”, but very few documents actually explain the science behind why it behaves the way it does. This educational guide breaks it down properly.

This is not a basic overview. It is written for formulators who want to move beyond “use at 4–5% and hope for the best” and actually understand emulsifier architecture.

If you are building structured creams, premium moisturisers, or natural-positioned formulations and want technical clarity, this document will support you.
