Description

D-Glucitol Monoisooctadecanoate is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from sorbitol and stearic acid, offering excellent stability and conditioning properties. This compound is valued for its ability to create stable emulsions and provide a smooth, non-greasy feel in formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries for products such as creams, lotions, and ointments.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and co-emulsifier in cosmetic creams and lotions.
• Skin conditioning agent and viscosity modifier in personal care formulations.
• Stabilizer and texturizer in pharmaceutical ointments and topical preparations.
• Ingredient in hair care products for its conditioning and detangling effects.
• Used in sun care products to improve water resistance and skin feel.
• Component in decorative cosmetics for pigment dispersion and smooth application.
• Base material for creating specialized esters with tailored hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB).
