- STEPAN PEARL 4 is a special blend which enables the formulator to incorporate a pearlescent appearance into shampoos, bubble baths, handsoaps, and other personal care products without additional heating or extended processing time.
- The unique emulsifier package in STEPAN PEARL 4 produces excellent pearlescence through cold blending. This eliminates the need for external heating such as with mono and di-stearates and allows the formulator to produce a product at ambient temperatures. As a result, the formulator benefits from direct energy savings as well as quicker batch cycling.
- It is recommended that STEPAN PEARL 4 be incorporated into alcohol sulfate or alcohol ethoxylate systems. Common use levels of 1% to 5%, depending on the desired intensity of pearlescence, are recommended. Typically, 2.5% to 3% will achieve an esthetically acceptable pearl.
