Description

Dodecanoic Acid, Esters, Monoester With Hexaglycerol is a specialized non-ionic surfactant derived from lauric acid and a polyglycerol moiety. This chemical structure provides a unique balance of hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, making it a highly effective emulsifier and solubilizer. It is essential for formulators in the personal care, cosmetic, and food industries seeking stable, mild, and high-performance ingredients.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and co-emulsifier in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• Stabilizing agent for oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions in pharmaceutical and topical formulations.
• Solubilizer for fragrances, essential oils, and lipophilic vitamins in clear aqueous systems.
• Key ingredient in mild cleansing products, such as facial washes and shower gels, for its gentle surfactant properties.
• Used in food-grade applications as an emulsifier for bakery products, margarines, and whipped toppings.
• Additive in industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids for its emulsifying and anti-corrosion characteristics.
