Description

Peg-12 Glyceryl Laurate is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from glycerin, lauric acid, and polyethylene glycol. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent solubilizing, stabilizing, and conditioning properties in a wide range of formulations. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to create stable, high-performance emulsions and delivery systems.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Emulsions: Primary emulsifier and stabilizer for creams, lotions, and conditioners, providing a smooth texture and stable oil-in-water systems.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Used as a solubilizer and emulsifying agent in ointments, gels, and medicated creams to enhance active ingredient delivery and stability.
• Hair Care Formulations: Acts as a conditioning agent and emulsifier in shampoos, conditioners, and hair treatments to improve manageability and softness.
• Skin Cleansing Products: Functions as a mild surfactant and foam booster in facial cleansers, shower gels, and makeup removers.
• Fragrance & Essential Oil Solubilization: Effectively solubilizes lipophilic fragrances and oils in aqueous-based cosmetic and household products.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as an emulsifier and wetting agent in specialty cleaning formulations.
