PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate is a popular water-in-oil (w/o) emulsifier, meaning that it helps the oily and watery parts of the formula to mix in a way where water droplets are dispersed in the continuous oil phase and not the other way round.
Compared to the more commonly used oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions, w/o emulsions tend to be heavier and less cosmetically elegant, but PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate is claimed to help with this and enables a light and elegant skin feel. It also has a molecular structure that creates large anchors both in the water and in the oil phase making the resulting emulsion not only cosmetically elegant but also very stable.
This premium non-ionic emulsifier is specially designed to create ultra-stable, luxurious emulsions for skincare and cosmetic products. It delivers exceptional texture, enhanced stability, and superior sensory properties, making it ideal for high-end creams, lotions, and sun care formulations.
Effectively stabilizes emulsions, preventing separation and ensuring a uniform consistency in formulations.
Enhances the sensory attributes of products, providing a smooth and silky texture upon application.
Contributes to the moisturizing effect of formulations, helping to keep the skin hydrated.
Compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients, including oils, surfactants, and active compounds.
Enhances the spreadability of products, making them easier to apply and improving overall user experience.
This is a primary emulsifier for water-in-oil emulsions, possessing excellent high-temperature stability. It has a high internal phase volume, allowing for fine emulsion droplets regardless of the polarity of the external oil phase, enabling the emulsification of various oils. It can prepare water-in-oil emulsions with high water phase ratios.
It exhibits good compatibility with various active ingredients and can be used to prepare low-viscosity emulsions with excellent temperature stability. It can also disperse solid materials, including pigments, in the oil phase of w/o emulsions. Often used in combination with MY983, MY9120, and MY985 for cosmetics and sunscreen products.
Commonly used in creams and lotions to create stable emulsions that provide hydration.
Stabilizes the mixture of active ingredients and oils for even application and effectiveness.
Found in foundations, BB creams, and tinted moisturizers to improve spreadability.
Used in conditioners and styling products to provide emollience and improved texture.
Incorporated into body lotions and creams to enhance moisture retention.
