Description

2-[2-[2-(2-Hydroxyethoxy)Ethoxy]Ethoxy]Ethyl Oleate is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and emollient ester derived from oleic acid and a tetraethylene glycol derivative. This compound is valued for its excellent solubilizing, moisturizing, and skin-conditioning properties, making it a versatile functional ingredient. It is primarily needed by formulators in the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries seeking stable, high-performance emollients and carriers.

Application

• As a primary emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• As a solubilizer and carrier for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fragrances in topical formulations.
• As a plasticizer and lubricant in polymer and resin applications to improve flexibility.
• As a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier in specialty industrial and agrochemical formulations.
• As a penetration enhancer in transdermal drug delivery systems.
• As a viscosity modifier and stabilizer in cosmetic and personal care products.
