Description

Polyglyceryl-5 Oleate is a non-ionic, biodegradable surfactant derived from natural fatty acids and polyglycerol. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, solubilizing, and conditioning properties, making it a key functional ingredient in high-performance formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and food industries seeking effective, mild, and multifunctional additives.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Emulsions: Primary emulsifier and stabilizer for creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel.
• Food Industry: Acts as an emulsifier and anti-spattering agent in margarines, spreads, and bakery products.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Used as a solubilizer and emulsifier in topical ointments and creams for enhanced drug delivery.
• Industrial Applications: Serves as a lubricant, anti-static agent, and emulsifier in textile processing and metalworking fluids.
• Household & I&I Products: Key component in liquid soaps, detergents, and fabric softeners for improved cleaning and softening.
