POLYGLYCERYL-2 TETRAOLEATE is a plant-derived nonionic emulsifier designed for water-in-oil (W/O) systems with an HLB value of approximately 3. It excels at emulsifying high-oil and high-pigment systems and is commonly used in color cosmetics, sunscreens, and restorative skincare products, helping to achieve formulation stability and uniformity. Standard packaging is 25 kg per drum, with 500 g sample sizes also available for laboratory development and pilot evaluation.
Product Features
This product is a yellow, viscous liquid that is easy to handle at room temperature and can be added directly to formulations without preheating. When used as a primary emulsifier, it eliminates the need for additional auxiliary emulsifiers and exhibits excellent emulsification, particularly in formulations containing polar oils. It is suitable for creams and color cosmetics with high oil and powder content, imparting a smooth, delicate feel. Common applications include waterproof sunscreen formulations, anhydrous color cosmetics, baby ointments, and care products for dry and sensitive skin. The recommended use level is 1–5%.
Core Advantages
POLYGLYCERYL-2 TETRAOLEATE is based on plant oil, does not contain ethylene oxide (EO) structure, has good biodegradability, and is in line with the current market focus on "clean formula" and "sustainable raw materials". Its mildness makes it suitable for the development of sensitive skin and baby care products. It strikes a good balance between emulsification efficiency and skin feel, which can not only improve the stability of oil phase and powder dispersion, but also help simplify production operations. For product developers who focus on formula performance and environmental value, it is a key raw material that combines technology and practice.
