Description

Peg-15 Glyceryl Ricinoleate is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from castor oil, created by the ethoxylation of glyceryl ricinoleate. This versatile compound is prized for its excellent solubilizing, moisturizing, and stabilizing properties, making it a key ingredient in formulations requiring mildness and skin compatibility. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to create stable, high-performance emulsions and delivery systems.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Emulsions: Acts as a primary or co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and milky cleansers, providing stable oil-in-water systems with a smooth, non-greasy feel.
• Skin Care Formulations: Used in moisturizers, serums, and anti-aging products for its humectant properties and ability to enhance the penetration of active ingredients.
• Hair Care Products: Functions as a conditioning agent and emulsifier in shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks to improve manageability and shine.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Employed in ointments, gels, and medicated creams as a non-irritating solubilizer and emulsion stabilizer.
• Make-up Products: Found in foundations, BB creams, and liquid make-up to ensure even pigment dispersion and long-lasting wear.
• Fragrance & Essential Oil Solubilization: Effectively solubilizes hydrophobic fragrances and oils into clear aqueous solutions for perfumes and aromatic waters.

Quality Control

Our Peg-15 Glyceryl Ricinoleate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as hydroxyl value, saponification value, and ethylene oxide content are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
