What is NIKKOL NIKKOMULESE® 41S

NIKKOL NIKKOMULESE® 41S is a complex O/W emulsifier composed of polyglyceryl fatty acid esters, higher alcohols, and anionic surfactants. It forms a gel-network structure with liquid crystals in water or around oil droplets. After application, it creates a hydrophobic film derived from the gel-network structure, delivering excellent water resistance and long-lasting moisturizing effect.

As a result, sunscreens with a UV water resistance can be easily formulated using NIKKOL NIKKOMULESE® 41S.

COSMOS approved, RSPO compliant with high naturality (0.98, ISO 16128).
