Multifunctional Oil-in-Water Emulsifier

Description: Non-ionic, ethoxlyated polyethylene glycol ester made from castor oil. It is derived from Castor oil and is useful in producing products that disperse in water whilst offering good moisturizing properties. Off-white/yellow liquid to semi-solid. Miscible in water and oils. HLB value 15 (gives oil-in-water emulsions). pH 5.5-7 (3% in water).

Approximate Melting Point: 30°C

Benefits:
  • Multifunctional agent that can be used as emulsifier, surfactant and solubilizer
  • Useful also as foam booster and solubilizer of extracts, perfumes and vitamins
  • It has a surfactant ability which acts as a cleansing agent, lifting dirt from the skin and hair.

Use: Universally applicable, especially in liquid soaps, lotions, body washes, body butter, shower gels, face masks, hair shampoos, facial cleansers, bubble baths, conditioners, decorative cosmetics.

Application: Can be added to formulas as is, usual concentration 1 - 10%. For external use only.

Note: PEG 40 is suggested for use as the primary, if not sole, solubilizing agent or emulsifier in cosmetic applications such as sprays, serums, lotions and oil-free creams. It is added to oils in the oil phase for its stronger solubilizing qualities. 

Ingredients: PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Not reliably. Emulsifiers differ in chemistry, oil-phase capacity, required process and finished texture. Rebalance and retest the formula rather than swapping by weight alone.

Droplet size, heating, mixing, oil load, electrolytes and cooling profile all affect long-term stability. Stability testing is needed beyond the first 24 hours.

No. Too much emulsifier can worsen feel or still fail if the phase ratio and process are wrong. Diagnose oil load, temperatures, mixing and incompatible ingredients first.

Many hot-process emulsions perform more consistently when phases are appropriately heated before combining, but follow the guidance for the exact emulsifier grade.

Yes. Electrolytes and pH changes can affect some emulsifiers and thickeners. Add challenging ingredients in controlled trials and monitor viscosity and separation.

Only if the exact grade and formulation method support cold processing. Do not assume a hot-process emulsifier will work identically without heat.

Emulsifier level, fatty alcohols, oils, cooling and mixing can all influence after-feel. Adjust the whole oil-phase structure rather than changing one ingredient in isolation.

Some emulsifier systems contribute body, but viscosity and emulsion stability are different functions. A separate rheology modifier may still be needed.

Add at a temperature appropriate for the fragrance and emulsion, then mix thoroughly. Fragrance can affect viscosity or stability, so check the finished product after ageing.

Change one variable at a time: phase ratio, emulsifier level, temperature, mixing and electrolyte load. Keep batch records so the cause of improvement or failure can be identified.
