IMWITOR® 372 P – An Evergreen that is second to none
9. July 2021
The dream of every musician: to create a song that goes straight to the ear, sticks there for decades and establishes itself as an evergreen. Everyone knows the lyrics, the hit fits every mood and it simply belongs to every party. But to earn the title evergreen in the cosmetics world, many different criteria must be met. Our IMWITOR® 372 P achieves this and is now considered a “natural classic” among emulsifiers. Robust, reliable, renewable: The natural classic for your emulsions.
A song also has to overcome various hurdles, such as lasting many years and showing a simplicity in melody, harmony and rhythm. The emulsifier IMWITOR® 372 P from the Personal Care Business Unit at IOI Oleo GmbH cannot provide tone and rhythm, but shines with harmony in formulations. It is very easy to use, is compatible with all UV filters, oils and pigments, is naturally based, anionic, builds up the viscosity of liquid to buttery textures and increases the natural stability of emulsions.
