About Ammonium Shellacate

Ammonium Shellacate is an ammonium salt of fatty acids derived from shellac.[1] Its solubility and charge state vary depending on the components forming the salt and the formulation’s acidity, which also affects how it interacts with other raw materials. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed and to help prevent the emulsion from separating easily.[2]
