Description

Oils, Apricot, Ethoxylated is a non-ionic surfactant derived from apricot kernel oil, modified through ethoxylation to enhance its water solubility and functional properties. This modification is critical for formulators seeking natural-origin, biodegradable ingredients with excellent emulsifying and solubilizing power. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries for creating stable, mild, and high-performance formulations.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and solubilizer in skin creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• Key ingredient in natural and organic cosmetic formulations requiring mild, plant-derived surfactants.
• Used in pharmaceutical ointments and topical delivery systems for its emulsifying properties.
• Acts as a co-emulsifier and stabilizer in hair care conditioners and treatments.
• Functions as a wetting and dispersing agent in color cosmetics and makeup products.
• Applied in high-end toiletries and bath products for its skin-friendly profile and rich lather.

Quality Control

Our Oils, Apricot, Ethoxylated is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets specifications for critical parameters such as hydroxyl value, saponification value, and ethoxylation degree. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with relevant standards for cosmetic and personal care ingredients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere (nitrogen blanket) to maintain optimal quality and prevent rancidity.
