Description

Glyceryl Ricinoleate is a versatile, non-ionic surfactant and emollient derived from castor oil, offering excellent skin compatibility and solubilizing properties. This compound is valued for its ability to act as a co-emulsifier, plasticizer, and lubricant across various industrial and personal care formulations. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemical sectors seeking natural-derived, multifunctional additives.

Application

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Functions as a skin-conditioning agent, emollient, and co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and makeup products.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as a solubilizer and plasticizer in topical drug delivery systems, ointments, and transdermal patches.
• Food Industry: Serves as an emulsifier and stabilizer in certain food-grade applications and packaging materials.
• Polymer & Plastics: Acts as an effective bio-based plasticizer and lubricant in PVC, cellulose derivatives, and other polymer processing.
• Lubricants & Greases: Employed as a component in specialty lubricants and metalworking fluids due to its oleic nature.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Used as a softening agent and lubricant in fiber treatment and leather finishing.
