Description

Peg-2 Ricinoleate is a non-ionic surfactant and emollient derived from castor oil, offering excellent solubilizing and conditioning properties. This versatile chemical is valued for its ability to enhance the texture, stability, and skin-feel of formulations. It serves as a key functional ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking natural-derived, multifunctional additives.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and co-emulsifier in cosmetic creams, lotions, and ointments.
• Skin conditioning agent and emollient in skincare products for improved smoothness.
• Solubilizer for fragrances, essential oils, and active ingredients in aqueous systems.
• Viscosity modifier and stabilizer in hair care products like conditioners and styling gels.
• Plasticizer and lubricant in topical pharmaceutical formulations.
• Base material for the synthesis of more complex ester derivatives.
• Component in industrial lubricants and release agents where bio-derived materials are preferred.
