Description

Peg-5 Glyceryl Triisostearate is a non-ionic surfactant and emollient ester derived from glycerin, isostearic acid, and polyethylene glycol. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, solubilizing, and skin-conditioning properties, making it a key ingredient in high-performance formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries for creating stable, elegant, and functional products.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Emulsions: Acts as a primary or co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing stability and a rich, non-greasy skin feel.
• Hair Care Products: Used in conditioners, hair masks, and styling products to impart softness, manageability, and shine while reducing static.
• Makeup Formulations: Serves as a pigment dispersant and binder in foundations, lipsticks, and color cosmetics, enhancing texture and wear.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Employed as an excipient in ointments, gels, and medicated creams to improve drug delivery and patient compliance.
• Skin Cleansers & Micellar Waters: Functions as a gentle surfactant and solubilizer for oils and fragrances in facial washes and cleansing waters.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Utilized as a wetting agent and emulsifier in specialty cleaning formulations where mildness is required.

Quality Control

Our Peg-5 Glyceryl Triisostearate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product quality.
