Description

Mannitan Laurate is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from mannitol and lauric acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and conditioning properties in a variety of demanding formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries for creating stable, high-quality emulsions and enhancing product texture.

Application

• As a primary or co-emulsifier in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• Used in pharmaceutical ointments and topical preparations for its stabilizing effect.
• Functions as a conditioning agent in hair care products like conditioners and styling gels.
• Employed as a dispersing agent and stabilizer in pigment and color cosmetic formulations.
• Serves as a texture enhancer and viscosity modifier in personal care emulsions.
• Potential use in industrial applications requiring biodegradable, sugar-based surfactants.
