Valuable CAS 103819-46-1 / SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

PEG-40 Olive Glycerides is a versatile ingredient derived from olive oil, engineered to enhance the stability and texture of skincare formulations. It primarily functions to facilitate the blending of oil and water phases, while also offering a mild conditioning effect to the skin.

Summary

emulsifying surfactant skin conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a PEGylated alkyl glyceride, PEG-40 Olive Glycerides primarily acts as a non-ionic surfactant. Its molecular structure enables it to reduce surface tension, effectively stabilizing emulsions and solubilizing lipophilic components within aqueous systems. Additionally, it contributes to a conditioned feel on the skin.
