- Green Line’s Imbue™ products serve as a base for microemulsions, which formulators can use to create advanced cosmetic products of superior quality and stability. Imbue™ products maintain system transparency at lower use levels, although they can be used up to 50% of the formulation. These products are instantly dispersible in water and do not require the heating and high shear during process that other emulsions do. Imbue Shea™ mitigates common formulation issues associated with shea oil, such as crystallization
- Efficient, convenient, and easy-to-use Imbue Shea™ is ideal for a range of products. Ideal in formulations for the face and body, this versatile ingredient can be used from head to toe
- Milks, Conditioners, Towelettes, Lotions, Serums
