Description

Sucrose Pentamyristate is a high-purity sucrose ester, specifically a pentamer of myristic acid esterified to a sucrose core. This compound serves as a versatile, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier, prized for its excellent biocompatibility and mildness. It is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries where high-performance, safe, and multifunctional ingredients are required. Its unique structure provides superior emulsifying and stabilizing properties in complex formulations.

Application

• As a key emulsifier and stabilizer in pharmaceutical creams, ointments, and topical delivery systems.
• Functioning as a primary surfactant in high-end cosmetic products, including lotions, serums, and makeup removers.
• Utilized in food-grade applications as an emulsifier for bakery products, dairy analogs, and confectionery.
• Acting as a dispersing agent for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in solid dosage forms.
• Enhancing the texture and stability of personal care products such as shampoos and conditioners.
• Used in industrial applications as a biodegradable surfactant in specialty cleaning formulations.
