Product Name | PEG-12 Oleate (CAS 9004-96-0) |
CAS | 9004-96-0 |
Description | PEG-12 Oleate is a common ingredient in personal care and cosmetic products. It is a compound synthesized by combining oleic acid (a fatty acid commonly found in vegetable oils) with polyethylene glycol (PEG), a synthetic polymer typically used as a moisturizer. PEG-12 Oleate has a variety of functions in products, including acting as a surfactant (reduces surface tension allowing the product to be spread more easily) and a emulsifying agent (helping mix oil and water-based ingredients). It can also provide a conditioning effect, leaving the skin or hair feeling smoother and softer after use. |
Appearance | clear, yellowish liquid at room temperature |
Application | 1. PEG-12 Oleate finds application as an emulsifying agent in various cosmetic and personal care products. 2. It is used in the formulation of skin creams, lotions, and moisturizers to improve their texture and spreadability. 3. PEG-12 Oleate acts as a solubilizer, helping to dissolve oils and other hydrophobic ingredients into water-based formulas. 4. It is also used in the formulation of hair care products such as shampoos and conditioners to improve their smoothness and detangling properties. 5. PEG-12 Oleate can function as a thickening agent, helping to create a more viscous and stable product. 6. It can enhance the foaminess of surfactant-based products such as body washes and shaving creams. 7. Due to its gentle nature, PEG-12 Oleate is used in the formulation of baby care products such as wipes and diaper creams. |
