FLOCARE ET 76 – FIVE KEY BENEFITS
 

1. COLD PROCESS COMPATIBILITY
 

FLOCARE™ ET 76 is supplied as a ready-to-use liquid dispersion that can be incorporated into cold-process cosmetic formulations.
 

The product does not require a separate neutralization step, helping manufacturers simplify processing and reduce heating requirements.
 

2. FORMULATION COST EFFICIENCY
 

FLOCARE ET 76 provides rapid viscosity development and can deliver thickening performance at relatively low concentrations.

Its ready-to-use format and straightforward incorporation can help reduce processing time and associated manufacturing costs.
 

The product does not require the addition of a separate surfactant solely for its incorporation.
 

3. ENERGY-EFFICIENT MANUFACTURING
 

Cold-process compatibility allows manufacturers to develop suitable cosmetic formulations without relying on conventional heating steps.
 

This can contribute to lower energy consumption during production.
 

The product is manufactured using SNF polymer technology.
 

4. FAST PROCESSING AND EASY FORMULATION
 

FLOCARE ET 76 can be incorporated at different stages of the manufacturing process, depending on formulation requirements.

Its liquid dispersion format allows rapid mixing and viscosity development without requiring a separate neutralization step.

These characteristics can help simplify production workflows and shorten processing times.
 

5. RICH TEXTURE AND NON-GREASY SKIN FEEL
 

FLOCARE ET 76 helps create creams with a rich, smooth, and pleasant texture.

It is particularly suitable for skincare formulations where manufacturers aim to achieve:
 

• A soft and silky application

• A rich cream consistency

• A non-greasy skin feel

• A non-sticky finish

• A powdery after-feel
   

These sensory characteristics make FLOCARE ET 76 relevant for day creams, night creams, and other skincare formulations developed at a neutral pH.
 

FLOCARE ET 76 IN COSMETIC FORMULATIONS
 

As a sodium polyacrylate-based rheology modifier, FLOCARE ET 76 helps cosmetic manufacturers control viscosity, consistency, and texture.
 

Its performance depends on formulation composition, ingredient compatibility, processing conditions, and the desired finished-product characteristics.
 

FORMULATION CONSIDERATIONS
 

When incorporating FLOCARE ET 76 into cosmetic products, manufacturers should consider:
 

• Target viscosity and texture

• Formulation pH

• Compatibility with other ingredients

• Mixing and processing conditions

• Desired sensory characteristics

• Finished-product stability
   

Laboratory formulation testing is recommended to determine the appropriate concentration and processing conditions.
