The Brij S range are designed to emulsify and produce stable dispersions for topical applications. Due to their differing HLB values, Brij S2 and Brij S721 work well in combination with each other and also with Arlamol PS11E and cetostearyl alcohols to produce stable O/W emulsions by forming liquid crystalline oleosomes. They exhibit tolerance to extreme levels of pH and high levels of electrolytes. Recommended topical usage levels of 0.5-5%.
