Description

Butylene Glycol Oleate is a non-ionic ester derived from butylene glycol and oleic acid, functioning as an effective emulsifier and emollient. This compound is valued for its ability to enhance the texture, stability, and skin-feel of formulations, making it a critical component in high-performance personal care products. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the cosmetics, skincare, and pharmaceutical industries for its versatile functional properties.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and co-emulsifier in cosmetic creams, lotions, and ointments.
• Skin conditioning agent and emollient in moisturizers, sunscreens, and after-sun products.
• Viscosity modifier and stabilizer for oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion systems.
• Key ingredient in makeup products, such as foundations and lipsticks, for improved spreadability.
• Used in pharmaceutical topical preparations as a non-irritating base ingredient.
• Lubricant and softening agent in hair care conditioners and styling products.
• Component in industrial applications requiring a biodegradable, non-ionic surfactant.
