Description

Glyceryl Linoleate is a monoester of glycerol and linoleic acid, a key ω-6 fatty acid. This compound serves as a versatile non-ionic surfactant and emollient, valued for its skin-conditioning properties and ability to stabilize formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking high-purity, multifunctional ingredients for creams, lotions, and topical delivery systems.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary emollient, emulsifier, and skin-conditioning agent in moisturizers, creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Used as an excipient in ointments, gels, and transdermal patches to enhance drug solubility and skin penetration.
• Food-Grade Additives: Functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer in certain food products, where applicable grades are available.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Employed in specialty lubricants and mold release formulations due to its oleochemical properties.
• Nutraceutical & Supplement Carriers: Serves as a lipid-based carrier for fat-soluble vitamins and supplements in softgel capsules.
