Description

Polyglyceryl-2 Oleyl Ether is a non-ionic surfactant derived from oleyl alcohol and polyglycerin, valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and solubilizing properties. This versatile compound is particularly effective in creating stable oil-in-water emulsions and enhancing the mildness of formulations. It is a key ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking high-performance, skin-friendly ingredients.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and co-emulsifier in skin creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• Stabilizing agent for essential oils and fragrances in aqueous cosmetic systems.
• Key component in mild cleansing formulations such as facial washes, shower gels, and baby shampoos.
• Used in pharmaceutical ointments and topical delivery systems to improve drug solubility and skin penetration.
• Acts as a dispersing aid for pigments and active ingredients in color cosmetics and serums.
• Functional additive in household and industrial cleaning products for enhanced degreasing and surface wetting.

Quality Control

Our Polyglyceryl-2 Oleyl Ether is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, performance, and compliance with relevant standards for cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA), including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiles, is available for every shipment upon request.

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) for long-term storage to maintain optimal stability and prevent rancidity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
