POLYGLYCERYL-2 SESQUICAPRYLATE CAS No.: 148618-57-9
Source
This is a compound synthesized by esterification of polyglycerol and fatty acids (such as caprylic acid). Polyglycerol is usually a polymer formed by the polymerization of glycerol under specific conditions, while caprylic acid comes from fatty acids in vegetable oils (such as coconut oil or palm oil).
Physical characteristics
1. Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, but has good solubility in oily media.
2. Stability: It has good thermal and chemical stability and is not easily oxidized.
Advantages
4. Versatility: can be used as an emulsifier, stabilizer and thickener.
Function
1. Emulsifier: helps mix oily ingredients and aqueous ingredients to form a stable emulsion.
2. Stabilizer: prevents the product from stratifying or settling during storage or use.
3. Thickener: increases product viscosity and improves texture.
4. Dispersant: helps evenly disperse active ingredients and improves product uniformity and stability.
Uses
Cosmetics and personal care products: commonly used in lotions, creams, shampoos, conditioners, makeup removers, etc. as emulsifiers and stabilizers.
