Description

Peg-7 Ricinoleate is a non-ionic surfactant and emollient derived from castor oil, created by the ethoxylation of ricinoleic acid. This versatile chemical offers excellent emulsifying, solubilizing, and skin-conditioning properties, making it a valuable ingredient for formulators. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking effective, naturally-derived raw materials.

Application

• As a primary or co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and ointments for personal care and cosmetic products.
• As a solubilizer for fragrances, essential oils, and other lipophilic compounds in clear aqueous systems.
• As a skin-conditioning agent and emollient in body washes, shampoos, and liquid soaps.
• In pharmaceutical topical formulations for its emulsifying and stabilizing properties.
• As a dispersing agent and lubricant in various industrial and specialty chemical applications.
• In the formulation of textile and leather processing auxiliaries.
