Description

Peg-10 Sunflower Glycerides is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from sunflower oil and polyethylene glycol. This compound matters for formulators seeking a natural-derived, biodegradable, and skin-friendly ingredient with excellent solubilizing and stabilizing properties. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries for creating stable, mild, and high-performance emulsions.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary or co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing stable oil-in-water emulsions with a light, non-greasy feel.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Used in ointments, gels, and medicated creams to enhance drug solubility and improve the stability and spreadability of the formulation.
• Natural & Organic Formulations: Serves as a key ingredient in products marketed as natural or green due to its plant-based (sunflower) origin and mild nature.
• Fragrance & Essential Oil Solubilization: Effectively solubilizes lipophilic fragrances and essential oils into clear aqueous systems for micellar waters, toners, and sprays.
• Hair Care Products: Incorporated into conditioners and styling products to improve manageability, provide conditioning benefits, and stabilize formulations.
• Cleansing Products: Functions as a gentle surfactant and emulsifier in facial cleansers, makeup removers, and shower gels, helping to remove oils while maintaining skin mildness.
