PEG-6 OLEAMINE.

Valuable CAS 26635-93-8 / SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING, SURFACTANT - FOAM BOOSTING

PEG-6 Oleamine functions as a versatile formulation agent, adeptly blending oil and water components within cosmetic products. It primarily acts as an emulsifier and surfactant, particularly effective in stabilizing alkaline emulsions to ensure product uniformity and stability.

Summary

emulsifying surfactant

Science

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.
