Description

Tri (Ppg-3 Myristyl Ether) Citrate is a specialized non-ionic surfactant and emollient ester derived from citric acid and a propoxylated myristyl ether. This compound is valued for its excellent solubilizing, skin-conditioning, and stabilizing properties, making it a versatile functional ingredient. It is primarily sought after by formulators in the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries for creating high-performance, mild, and stable products.

Application

• Primary Emollient & Skin Conditioner in lotions, creams, and sun care products for a non-greasy, smooth feel.
• Solubilizing Agent for fragrances, essential oils, and active ingredients in clear gels and aqueous formulations.
• Co-emulsifier and Stabilizer in cosmetic emulsions (O/W and W/O) to enhance texture and shelf-life.
• Plasticizer and Lubricant in polymer and resin applications to improve flexibility and processing.
• Carrier and Penetration Enhancer in topical pharmaceutical and transdermal delivery systems.
• Base Ingredient for high-purity cosmetic and pharmaceutical grades requiring stringent quality control.
