Description

Propylene Glycol Ricinoleate is a non-ionic, biodegradable ester derived from ricinoleic acid and propylene glycol. This versatile compound serves as an effective emulsifier, solubilizer, and emollient, valued for its ability to enhance the stability and sensory properties of formulations. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceutical, and food industries seeking natural-derived, multifunctional additives.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a primary emulsifier and co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and makeup, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as a solubilizer for active ingredients and as an emollient in topical ointments, creams, and transdermal delivery systems.
• Food Industry: Functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer in various food products, helping to blend ingredients that would otherwise separate.
• Industrial Applications: Serves as a plasticizer and lubricant in specialty polymers and metalworking fluids.
• Pigment & Dye Dispersions: Aids in the wetting and dispersion of colorants in liquid formulations for inks and coatings.
