AC-M68 SV is a natural O/W alkyl polyglucoside emulsifier with self-emulsifying effects, demonstrated by its ability to emulsify 30% oil with only 0.5% dosage in centrifugation tests. Its lipophilic aliphatic group and hydrophilic glucose group are both of plant origin, free of solvents and irritating by-products, backed by regulatory compliance (e.g., IECIC, CosIng).
It has excellent emulsifying properties, which can promote the formation of liquid crystals in the formula system—this layered structure provides thermodynamic stability and enables controlled release of actives like retinol, giving the product a silky skin feel and unique moisturizing functions.

ADVANTAGES
1. Wide emulsification range
2. Silky smooth skin feel : achieved through liquid crystal layers that reduce friction, as shown in studies where layered structures mimic skin lipids.
3. 100% natural origin : derived from plant-based glucose and aliphatic chains, with NOI=1 and no solvents, representing clean formulation.
4. Stable with active ingredients : compatible with AHAs, vitamin C, and sunscreens, leveraging liquid crystals to encapsulate and gradually release actives.
EFFICACIES
• Excellent formula compatibility, non-irritating - evidenced by stable emulsion formation with cationic surfactants (2% 1831) and various oils, representing wide pH (acid/alkaline) tolerance.
• Improve effective delivery of active ingredients - achieved through liquid crystal encapsulation that enables gradual release of retinol/vitamin C, reducing irritation by 40% in studies.
• Prolongs product stability - demonstrated by passed centrifugation tests with 0.5-3% dosage and thermodynamic-stable layered structures.
• Long-lasting moisturization - proven by 15% TEWL reduction in 15-day clinical trials and 5-hour hydration maintenance.

FAQ
Q1: What is the primary function of Cetearyl Glucoside & Cetearyl Alcohol?
A1: They work synergistically primarily as a gentle non-ionic emulsifier system. Cetearyl Alcohol provides structure and improves sensory properties (e.g., thickening, adding richness to creams), while Cetearyl Glucoside helps it form a more stable and fine emulsion structure. They also offer some emollient and moisturizing benefits.
Q2: What is the structure of liquid crystal, and what are its advantages?
A2: Liquid crystal structure is an intermediate phase between liquid (disordered) and solid (highly ordered) states. When specific emulsifiers (such as AC-M68 SV) coexist in the oil and water phases in appropriate proportions and processes, they spontaneously arrange into highly ordered, periodic structures.
5 major advantages:
Super stability: "Multi layer armor" provides physical barrier, thermodynamic stability, and significantly extends shelf life.
Active substance slow-release: "Reserve warehouse" type packaging, protecting and slow-release active substances (including retinol, vitamin C, etc.).
Long term moisturizing and barrier repair: Simulate the sebum membrane, form a water locking network, significantly reduce transcutaneous water loss (TEWL), and repair the skin barrier.
Excellent skin feel: silky and easy to push, with a rich texture without the traditional waxy or greasy feeling of fat and alcohol.
Enhanced penetration: temporarily disrupts the stratum corneum, serving as a reversible penetration enhancer to promote the absorption of active ingredients.
