Product Introduction
PEG-7 Olivate is a versatile surfactant and emulsifier commonly used in cosmetic formulations. It is derived from olive oil, offering skin-conditioning properties that enhance the feel of formulations. This ingredient is particularly valued for its ability to improve texture and stability in creams and lotions. With its hydrophilic nature, PEG-7 Olivate helps to create smooth and spreadable products that are pleasing to the skin.
Production Process
The production of PEG-7 Olivate involves the esterification of olive oil with polyethylene glycol. This reaction results in the creation of a non-ionic surfactant that retains the beneficial properties of olive oil while enhancing performance in cosmetic applications. The process is carefully controlled to maintain the quality and purity of the final product, ensuring it meets industry standards.
Efficacy and Function
PEG-7 Olivate serves multiple functions in cosmetics, primarily as an emulsifier that helps blend water and oil-based ingredients. It enhances the texture of formulations, making products feel luxurious on application. Additionally, it offers moisturizing benefits, which contribute to the overall skin feel. The ingredient also aids in reducing irritation from other surfactants, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
Application Scenarios
PEG-7 Olivate is ideal for use in creams, lotions, and serums where emulsion stability is crucial. It finds application in personal care items such as body washes, facial cleansers, and makeup products. The ingredient is effective in a range of formulation types, including those designed for dry or sensitive skin. Its ability to improve the moisturizing properties makes it a favorable choice in skin care lines targeting hydration.
