Description

Glyceryl Diricinoleate is a specialized ester derived from ricinoleic acid and glycerol, valued for its unique emollient and solubilizing properties. This compound is essential for formulators seeking a high-performance, non-greasy ingredient with excellent skin compatibility. It is primarily utilized in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries as a key component in creams, lotions, and topical delivery systems.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, sunscreens, and makeup products.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Used as a solubilizer and penetration enhancer in ointments, gels, and transdermal drug delivery systems.
• Lubricants and Release Agents: Serves as a bio-based component in specialty lubricants and mold release agents for industrial and food-grade applications.
• Plasticizer for Polymers: Functions as a secondary plasticizer and stabilizer in specific polymer formulations to improve flexibility.
• Hair Care Products: Incorporated into conditioners and styling products to impart shine and reduce frizz without heavy buildup.
• Food Contact Materials: Employed in coatings and adhesives that comply with regulations for indirect food contact.

Quality Control

Our Glyceryl Diricinoleate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, acid value, and hydroxyl value are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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 maintaining under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen to preserve stability and prevent degradation.
