OLETH 20 Nonionic Emulsifier for Skincare CAS NO 9004 98 2 OILREE ® The INCI name of MY OV-20 is OLETH-20, which is a multifunctional nonionic emulsifier synthesized from oil alcohol and ethylene oxide. It looks like a white to yellow paste, with a soft texture and even luster. The key advantage of this emulsifier is its good balance of hydrophilic and oleophilic properties, which can efficiently create a stable water in oil system by combining oil and water phases. It melts smoothly and mildly, so it is commonly used in face cream, lotion and cleaning emulsions. It can gently emulsify various ingredients without compromising the stability and texture of the product.
In cosmetic formulas, OLETH-20 not only helps to build a stable formula structure, but also optimizes the skin feel during use. It can make the emulsified system more uniform, and the active ingredients are easier to spread out, resulting in a silky feeling when applied to the skin. Its molecular structure is designed to be flexible and can be friendly with various types of surfactants. When formulators use it to make products, they can easily produce products with stable viscosity and no easy deterioration even after prolonged use. In addition, it can also help adjust the pH value of the formula to be close to the pH of the skin itself, reducing irritation to the skin and making it easier for the skin to accept. This is particularly practical in mild skincare and facial cleansing products.
From a technical perspective, OLETH-20 can function without adding too much, usually adding 1% -5% is sufficient. It is easy to disperse and its performance is stable when there are large temperature changes. If used together with fatty alcohols or silicone derivatives, it can make the emulsified product more transparent, with a more suitable viscosity and finer texture, and maintain a consistent skin feel every time it is used. Because it is a non-ionic structure that does not react with charged components, it is suitable for formulas that require compatibility with multiple components and a clean and refreshing appearance.
During processing, OLETH-20 can smoothly blend into the oil phase and remain stable whether emulsified by heating or at room temperature. Even with repeated heating, there will be no delamination or oxidation. Its packaging is 50 kilograms per drum, and it should be stored in a cool and dry place below 30 ℃ to ensure its stable performance.
OILREE ® MY OV-20 is produced according to strict quality standards and can be considered a reliable choice in emulsion wax systems. It is well balanced in stability, gentleness and compatibility, and can be used in many personal care products - from moisturizing lotion to high-end cleaning products. These products need good use effects, and the stability and reliability of the formula itself must be guaranteed.
