100% Natural Origin
Stable
with active
ingredients
AC-M68 SV is a natural O/W alkyl polyglucoside emulsifier with self-emulsifying performance. Its plant-derived lipophilic aliphatic chains and hydrophilic glucose groups help build lamellar liquid crystal structures, supporting stable emulsions, moisturization, active sustained release and a smooth, plump skin feel.
0.5%
It's able to emulsify 30% oil with only 0.5% dosage in centrifugation tests.
1-3%
Adding 1–3% enhances system stability and is suitable for complex functional formulations.
3-5%
Recommended standalone use level for gentle face creams and body lotions.

Performance
Liquid Crystal Emulsification Highlights for Sample Screening
AC-M68 SV emphasizes low-dosage emulsifying power, broad oil compatibility, rich sensory performance and stable liquid crystal emulsion structure.
Oil Phase Challenge
Low-dosage testing focuses on 30% oil systems to support early stability evaluation.
Natural Origin Positioning
AC-M68 SV is positioned as a 100% natural-origin emulsifier system.
Stable Liquid Crystal Network
Lamellar liquid crystal structures help strengthen the oil-water interface and improve emulsion stability over time.
Silky and Plump Skin Feel
The material is positioned for smooth, full-bodied textures that suit creams, lotions and baby care formulas.
Active Sustained Release
The liquid crystal structure can support a controlled-release feel for active ingredients in leave-on products.
Broad Oil Compatibility
Compatibility screening includes systems using GTCC, squalane and IPM.
Application
Application and Processing Guide
Use these practical guidelines to evaluate AC-M68 SV as a main emulsifier, co-emulsifier or texture enhancer in cosmetic formulations.
- Standalone emulsifier Use 3-5% for cream and lotion systems when AC-M68 SV is the primary emulsifier.
- Synergistic blending Use 1-3% with other emulsifiers to improve stability, skin feel and lamellar liquid crystal structure.
- Texture enhancement Use 0.5-1% to improve body, smoothness and moisturized after-feel in existing formulas.
- Formula screening During formula screening, compare stability, particle size, viscosity, pH, melting point and final sensory profile.

FAQ
AC-M68 SV FAQ
Answers to common buyer questions about dosage, liquid crystal structure, formula screening, applications and order documents.
What is AC-M68 SV used for?
AC-M68 SV is used as a natural O/W liquid crystal emulsifier for creams, lotions, sun care, baby care, hair conditioners and active formulas that need stability, moisturization and rich skin feel.
What dosage is recommended for AC-M68 SV?
Use 3-5% as a standalone emulsifier, 1-3% for synergistic blending and 0.5-1% for texture enhancement. Formulation screening also shows 0.5% AC-M68 SV can stabilize 30% oil in a centrifugation test formula.
How should AC-M68 SV be evaluated during formulation screening?
Evaluate AC-M68 SV in the customer formulation system. Formulators should compare component ratio, pH, melting point, acid value, hydroxyl value, viscosity, particle size, stability and final sensory performance in their own formulas.
How does AC-M68 SV support liquid crystal emulsion stability?
Its lipophilic aliphatic chains and hydrophilic glucose groups help build a lamellar liquid crystal structure around oil droplets, supporting stable emulsions, moisturization and a smoother skin feel.
Is AC-M68 SV compatible with sunscreen, pigments and active ingredients?
AC-M68 SV is positioned for broad compatibility screening, including sunscreen systems and active formulas. Final compatibility should be confirmed in the customer formula and process conditions.
What documents, sample support and MOQ information are available?
ANECO can provide TDS, SDS or MSDS, specifications, COA samples, product brochures, formulation support and bulk order information for AC-M68 SV on request.
