PEG-75 Shea Butter Glycerides

Product Description

PEG-75 Shea Butter Glycerides is an innovative, water-soluble derivative of natural shea butter, designed to deliver its renowned moisturizing and nourishing benefits to a wide range of cosmetic formulations. This unique ingredient overcomes the challenge of incorporating heavy butters into light, aqueous systems. Its key advantage is its ability to provide the rich emollience of shea butter while maintaining the clarity and fresh feel of gels, toners, and cleansers. For formulators seeking to enhance the moisturizing performance and sensory profile of skincare and rinse-off products, this water-soluble shea butter is a versatile and highly effective solution.

Product Uses

This multi-functional ingredient is a cornerstone for adding nourishing benefits to various personal care products:

• Skincare: An excellent addition to hydrating serums, essences, and toners to provide a non-greasy, emollient feel. It also acts as a co-emulsifier in creams and lotions, improving stability and spreadability.
• Cleansing Products: Used as a superfatting agent in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers to mitigate the drying effect of surfactants and leave the skin feeling soft.
• Hair Care: Functions as a conditioning agent in conditioners and hair treatments, providing moisture and a smooth feel.

Formulation Suggestions

The recommended dosage is between 1-5%. As a water-soluble paste, it can be added to the water phase of a formulation, or post-added to an emulsion. In cleansing systems, it acts as a refatting agent and foam stabilizer. In emulsions, it functions as a co-emulsifier and sensory enhancer, contributing to a rich but non-greasy texture. It is highly compatible with most cosmetic ingredients, including surfactants and polymers.
