Features and benefits:  

 

Akoline LC releases citric acid on skin contact which helps supplement the NMF (Natural Moisturising Factor). It is capable of forming liquid crystals if used together with non-ionic emulsifiers such as mono/diglycerides, polyglycerol esters or ethoxylated fatty alcohols, making it a good emulsion stabiliser and consistency improver.
