PEG-9 AVOCADOATE

Description

PEG-9 Avocadoate is a versatile emollient and emulsifier derived from avocado oil and polyethylene glycol (PEG). This synthetic ingredient combines the nourishing properties of avocado with enhanced solubility and stability, making it a valuable addition to various skincare formulations.

As an emollient, PEG-9 Avocadoate helps soften and smooth the skin, providing a silky feel without excessive greasiness. Its emulsifying properties aid in creating stable formulations by effectively blending oil and water-based components. This ingredient is particularly useful in leave-on products such as lotions, creams, and serums.

PEG-9 Avocadoate offers excellent spreadability and quick absorption, allowing for easy application of skincare products. It can help improve the texture and consistency of formulations while potentially enhancing the delivery of other active ingredients. The ingredient is generally well-tolerated by most skin types and is often used in products designed for dry or mature skin.

While PEG-9 Avocadoate retains some of the beneficial properties of avocado oil, it is important to note that it is a processed ingredient and may not provide the full range of nutrients found in pure avocado oil.
