Is a non-ionic vegetable derived oil-in-water emulsifier that creates sophisticated lotions and creams with a wonderful skin feel. It is similar to Olivem 1000 in that it creates lamellar emulsions with liquid crystals around oil droplets and in the continuous (water) phase.

Although it could be specific to our formulation (i.e our particular combination of all ingredients), we have noticed a significant lessening in whitening (soaping) that is typical of silicone free emulsions. The manufacturer (Seppic) does state in their product information sheet that Montanov 68 creates emulsions that do not whiten on application
Usage 2% – 8%
