Description

Polyglyceryl-4 Lauryl Ether is a non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable glycerol and lauryl alcohol, offering excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and mild cleansing properties. Its structure provides a favorable hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) for stabilizing oil-in-water emulsions, making it a versatile and skin-friendly ingredient. This compound is essential for formulators in the personal care, cosmetics, and household industries seeking effective, biodegradable, and low-irritation surfactants.

Application

• Primary Emulsifier in skin creams, lotions, and sun care products for stable oil-in-water formulations.
• Cleansing Agent in facial washes, shower gels, and shampoos, valued for its mildness and good foaming characteristics.
• Co-emulsifier & Stabilizer in cosmetic emulsions to enhance texture and long-term shelf stability.
• Household & I&I Cleaners as a surfactant in liquid detergents and all-purpose cleaners for degreasing and wetting.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations as an excipient in topical ointments and creams for its emulsifying and solubilizing effects.
• Industrial Applications as a dispersing agent in agrochemicals and lubricant formulations.
