Mechanism of Action
As an emulsifier, PEG-6 Oleamine enables the homogeneous dispersion of oil-based ingredients throughout water-based phases, preventing separation. Its surfactant properties reduce surface tension, aiding in the even distribution of components and contributing to the desired texture of the formulation. This ingredient demonstrates particular efficacy in stabilizing systems with an alkaline pH.
