Description

1,4-Anhydro-D-Glucitol Distearate is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant derived from sugar alcohol and stearic acid, valued for its excellent emulsifying and conditioning properties. This compound is essential for formulators seeking stable, mild, and biodegradable ingredients for personal care and cosmetic applications. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical industries to enhance product texture and performance.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary emulsifier, co-emulsifier, and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and makeup products.
• Hair Care Products: Provides excellent conditioning and detangling properties in shampoos, conditioners, and hair styling gels.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Used as an excipient in ointments, creams, and topical drug delivery systems for its emulsifying and stabilizing effects.
• Industrial Emulsions: Serves as an emulsifier and stabilizer in various industrial emulsion systems requiring non-ionic surfactants.
• Food-Grade Applications (where specified): Can be utilized as an emulsifier in certain food additive formulations, subject to compliance with relevant purity standards.
