PPG-12-LANETH-50

Description

PPG-12-LANETH-50 is a versatile emulsifier and solubilizer commonly used in skincare and cosmetic formulations. This synthetic ingredient is derived from lanolin alcohol and polyethylene glycol, combining the moisturizing properties of lanolin with the solubilizing capabilities of PEG compounds.

As an emulsifier, PPG-12-LANETH-50 helps to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, allowing for the seamless blending of water-based and oil-based ingredients in skincare products. Its emulsifying properties contribute to the creation of smooth, uniform textures in creams, lotions, and serums.

The solubilizing nature of PPG-12-LANETH-50 enables it to incorporate oil-soluble ingredients, such as fragrances and essential oils, into water-based formulations. This characteristic makes it particularly useful in creating clear or translucent products that contain both hydrophilic and lipophilic components.

PPG-12-LANETH-50 also exhibits mild conditioning properties, which can enhance the overall feel of skincare products on the skin. It is generally well-tolerated and suitable for use in a wide range of skincare formulations, including those designed for sensitive skin types.
