SUNFLOWER SEED OIL PEG-32 ESTERS
Description
Sunflower Seed Oil PEG-32 Esters is a versatile cosmetic ingredient derived from sunflower seed oil through a process of ethoxylation. This modification enhances the oil's solubility and emulsification properties, making it an excellent choice for various skincare and haircare formulations. The ingredient functions as an emollient, surfactant, and emulsifier, contributing to product stability and texture.
In skincare applications, Sunflower Seed Oil PEG-32 Esters helps to improve the spreadability of formulations and enhances their moisturizing capabilities. It forms a protective barrier on the skin, reducing transepidermal water loss and promoting hydration. The ingredient's light, non-greasy feel makes it suitable for a wide range of products, including lotions, creams, and serums.
In haircare products, Sunflower Seed Oil PEG-32 Esters can help to condition and soften hair without weighing it down. It also aids in the even distribution of other active ingredients throughout the formulation. The ingredient is generally well-tolerated by most skin types and is considered safe for use in cosmetic products when used at recommended concentrations.
