Description

Peg-4 Lanolate is a non-ionic surfactant derived from the ethoxylation of lanolin fatty acids, offering excellent emulsifying, conditioning, and solubilizing properties. This versatile compound is valued for its ability to enhance the texture, stability, and skin-feel of formulations, making it a critical component in high-performance personal care products. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the cosmetics, skincare, and pharmaceutical industries for creating stable emulsions and luxurious topical applications.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and co-emulsifier in oil-in-water (O/W) creams and lotions.
• Skin conditioning agent in moisturizers, body butters, and after-sun products for enhanced smoothness.
• Key ingredient in makeup formulations, including foundations and lipsticks, for improved pigment dispersion and application.
• Stabilizing agent in pharmaceutical ointments and topical therapeutic creams.
• Used in hair care products such as conditioners and styling creams for detangling and shine.
• Acts as a solubilizer for fragrances and essential oils in aqueous systems.
• Component in baby care products for its mild and skin-compatible nature.
• Base material for specialized industrial surfactants and lubricants.

Quality Control

Our Peg-4 Lanolate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as saponification value, hydroxyl value, and acid value 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, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). As the material is easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening to maintain optimal stability and prevent degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
