The efficacy and role of PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate in skin care cosmetics
PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate appears as a solid paste at room temperature and its chemical form is C36H70O8.
PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate is a non-ionic polymeric w/o emulsifier for cosmetics applications, to be used as single emulsifier at low dose both in creams or milks with light skin feel. It’s a block copolymer of Polyhydroxystearic acid (hydrophobic group) and Polyoxyethylene oxide (hydrophilic group).Used as an emulsifier and surfactant in formulations like cleansers, shampoos, conditioners, and hair styling products. This ingredient has also shown benefits for those with fungal acne due to its ability to control the growth of fungi on the skin. Further, PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate is a thickening agent that helps to create a smooth and creamy texture which makes formulations easier to apply and pleasant to use.
PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate is made by reacting dipolyhydroxystearic acid with ethylene oxide. Dipolyhydroxystearic acid is a fatty acid derived from castor oil or hydrogenated soybean oil. Ethylene oxide is a chemical compound that reacts with the hydroxyl groups of the fatty acid, forming a polyethylene glycol chain. The number "30" in the name refers to the number of repeating ethylene oxide units in the molecule.
What is PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate used for?
PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate is widely used in skin care and hair care products due to its emulsifying and stabilizing properties. It helps to keep the skin hydrated by locking in moisture, and its non-irritating nature makes it suitable for sensitive skin. PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate can be found in a wide range of skin care products such as moisturizers, sunscreens, facial cleansers, and makeup products. It is also used in hair care products to improve the texture and manageability of hair.
