PPG-30 OLEYL ETHER.

Valuable CAS 52581-71-2 / SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT

PPG-30 Oleyl Ether is a synthetic alkyl ether and polypropylene glycol derivative that primarily functions as a skin conditioning agent and emollient. It imparts softness and flexibility to the skin while also acting as a versatile formulation aid to stabilize mixtures and solubilize other ingredients.

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a polypropylene glycol (PPG) derivative, PPG-30 Oleyl Ether primarily conditions the skin by acting as an emollient, promoting a soft and supple feel without an occlusive residue. In cosmetic formulations, it also serves as a surfactant and emulsifying agent, critical for creating and maintaining stable oil-in-water dispersions. Furthermore, this liquid PPG is effective as a solubilizer and solvent, enhancing the compatibility and dispersion of various components.

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has assessed PPG-30 Oleyl Ether within the alkyl PEG/PPG ether group, concluding it is safe for cosmetic use when formulated to be non-irritating. While typical use concentrations for related PPG Stearyl Ethers range from 2% to 10%, the overall maximum concentration for this group is established at 25%. Although some animal data for related PPG Butyl Ethers indicated a potential for irritation, clinical testing on these same ingredients showed non-irritating and non-sensitizing results, emphasizing the importance of proper formulation to avoid irritation.
