Product Introduction
PEG-20 Glyceryl Oleate is a non-ionic surfactant primarily used in cosmetic and personal care products. It is known for its emulsifying properties, allowing oil and water-based ingredients to mix effectively. Commonly found in lotions, creams, and other formulations, it helps to stabilize emulsions and improve product texture. This ingredient is favored for its mild nature, making it suitable for sensitive skin formulations.
Production Process
The production of PEG-20 Glyceryl Oleate involves the esterification of glycerol with fatty acids derived from oleic acid. This process includes polyethylene glycol (PEG) that is then reacted to create the final product. The result is a compound that exhibits a balance of hydrophilic and lipophilic characteristics, enhancing its ability to function as an emulsifier.
Efficacy and Function
PEG-20 Glyceryl Oleate serves multiple functions in cosmetic preparations. It acts as a stabilizer for emulsions, ensuring that formulations remain uniform and do not separate over time. It also plays a role in improving the texture of products, providing a smooth application and feel on the skin. The ingredient helps to enhance the spreadability of creams and lotions, making them more pleasant to use.
Application Scenarios
This emulsifier is commonly used in a range of cosmetic applications, including facial creams, body lotions, hair care products, and sun care formulations. Due to its ability to blend oil and water, it is ideal for products requiring a stable emulsion. Its versatility allows it to be incorporated into both rinse-off and leave-on formulations, improving the overall formulation performance.
