Description

Glyceryl Monoricinoleate is a versatile non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from ricinoleic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent solubilizing and stabilizing properties in a wide range of formulations. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking effective, bio-based performance additives.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and solubilizer in cosmetic creams, lotions, and ointments.
• Key component in hair care products and makeup formulations for texture enhancement.
• Used as a lubricant and plasticizer in the production of polymers and synthetic fibers.
• Functional additive in industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• Emulsifying agent in pharmaceutical topical preparations.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of more complex esters and specialty chemicals.
