PEG-25 AVOCADO OIL GLYCERYL ESTERS

Description

PEG-25 Avocado Oil Glyceryl Esters is a versatile ingredient derived from avocado oil, widely used in skincare and haircare formulations. This modified lipid combines the nourishing properties of avocado oil with enhanced solubility and compatibility in various product bases.

The ingredient functions as an emollient and emulsifier, helping to create stable formulations while providing moisturizing benefits. Its PEG-25 modification improves water solubility, allowing for better incorporation into aqueous systems. This characteristic makes it particularly useful in leave-on products such as lotions, creams, and hair conditioners.

PEG-25 Avocado Oil Glyceryl Esters offers excellent spreadability and a non-greasy feel on the skin and hair. It helps to improve product texture and enhances the overall sensory experience. The ingredient also aids in the uniform distribution of other active components within formulations.

In skincare, it contributes to maintaining skin hydration and improving barrier function. For haircare applications, it can help reduce frizz, enhance shine, and provide a smooth, silky texture to the hair shaft. Its mild nature makes it suitable for use in products designed for sensitive skin and scalp.
