Description

Peg-6 Palmitate is a non-ionic surfactant and emollient ester, synthesized from palmitic acid and polyethylene glycol (PEG-6). This versatile compound is valued for its excellent solubilizing, emulsifying, and skin-conditioning properties, making it a key functional ingredient in sophisticated formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to enhance product texture, stability, and performance.

Application

• As a primary or co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and ointments for personal care and topical pharmaceuticals.
• As a solubilizer for fragrances, essential oils, and lipophilic active ingredients in clear gels and aqueous solutions.
• As a skin emollient and conditioner, providing a smooth, non-greasy after-feel in moisturizers and body care products.
• As a viscosity modifier and stabilizer in cosmetic and industrial emulsion systems.
• As a lubricant and plasticizer in specific industrial applications and polymer processing.
• As a key ingredient in makeup formulations, such as foundations and lipsticks, for improved pigment dispersion and application.
