Polyethylene glycol 12-hydroxystearate

Description:
Polyethylene glycol 12-hydroxystearate (PEG-12-hydroxystearate) is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifying agent commonly used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations. It is derived from the esterification of polyethylene glycol and hydroxystearic acid, which contributes to its amphiphilic properties, allowing it to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid or waxy substance and is known for its ability to stabilize emulsions, enhance the solubility of active ingredients, and improve the texture of formulations. PEG-12-hydroxystearate is often utilized in creams, lotions, and ointments due to its skin-conditioning properties and mildness, making it suitable for sensitive skin applications. Additionally, it is recognized for its low toxicity and is generally regarded as safe for use in personal care products. Its versatility and effectiveness in various formulations make it a valuable ingredient in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
