Einar 4103

Einar 4103 is a PEG-free, 100% naturally derived water-in-oil (W/O) emulsifier and pigment-wetting agent from Palsgaard, supplied by Independent Chemical for color cosmetics and low-viscosity skin care. Built on the polyglycerol ester Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate (PGPR), it emulsifies water into oil while wetting and dispersing pigments for even, uniform color — a plant-based alternative to PEG-based and conventional PGPR-type emulsifiers.

Key benefits

• Rich, velvety skin feel
• Stabilizes low-viscosity water-in-oil systems
• Uniform pigment wetting, dispersion and color payoff
• Prevents agglomeration of hydrophilic ingredients in oil phases (e.g. cleansing oils)
• Suitable for hot and cold emulsification; broad pH 3–11 compatibility
• COSMOS-approved, non-palm, non-GMO, Kosher/Halal, vegan-suitable

Applications

Foundations, BB creams, cleansing oils, lip care, sun care, makeup removers and other color-cosmetic, face, body and baby-care formulations.

Function & performance

A low-HLB (~4) non-ionic W/O emulsifier, pigment disperser and emollient. It builds stable water-in-oil emulsions and keeps pigments evenly suspended for consistent spreading and payoff.
