N-OLEYL HYDROXYHEXANAMIDE.

Insufficient Data CAS 35428-04-7 / EMULSION STABILISING, HAIR CONDITIONING, PRESERVATIVE, SKIN CONDITIONING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

N-Oleyl Hydroxyhexanamide is an innovative amide alcohol ingredient engineered primarily as a versatile emulsifier. It facilitates the creation of both water-in-oil (W/O) and oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, notably enabling surfactant-free W/O formulations that can reduce the heavy, oily feel often associated with this emulsion type.

Summary

Emulsifier

Science

Mechanism of Action

As an amide alcohol, N-Oleyl Hydroxyhexanamide's primary mechanism involves stabilizing immiscible liquid phases, allowing for the creation of stable emulsions. It is particularly adept at forming high internal phase water-in-oil emulsions without traditional surfactants, which can lead to a lighter sensory experience. Furthermore, it can be synergistically combined with carbomers to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, demonstrating its adaptability across various formulation types.
