Common Name(s): Ppg-70 glyceryl ether,ppg-70 glyceryl ether,glyceryl ester,natural glycerol-derived emollient

CAS Number: N/a

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Provides fatty acid fatty acid emolliency from the glycerol ester with one glycerol position esterified providing hlb ~3–4 for o/w emulsification, plus gentle glycerol humectancy from the backbone after sc esterase hydrolysis.

Why It's Used: Ppg-70 glyceryl ether is selected for fatty acid glyceryl ester emolliency — the glycerol carrier provides natural origin, biodegradability, and mild glycerol humectancy co-delivery alongside characteristic emolliency for the target formulation from the fatty acid fatty acid chain.

How It Works: Glyceryl monoester: glycerol backbone → mild humectancy + natural origin; fatty acid chain → characteristic emolliency for the target formulation; sc esterase hydrolysis → free glycerol + fatty acid metabolites.
