The core functions and application scenarios of PEG-100 stearate are as follows:
1. Core Function (Excellent Emulsification and Stabilization Capability):
(1) Construct a stable oil-in-water (O/W) system: As a hydrophilic emulsifier with a high HLB value (approximately 18.8), it can efficiently blend the oil phase and water phase, forming a fine and white lotion.
(2) The classic "golden pair": It is most commonly used in combination with low HLB value glyceryl stearate. The complementary interaction of the two can construct an extremely stable "layered liquid crystal structure," which serves as the "framework" of the product. This structure not only prevents the cream from separating but also imparts a silky, moisturizing, and non-greasy high-end skin feel, akin to that of ice cream.
(3) Solubilization and Dispersing Effect: Its hydrophilic long chain can assist in solubilizing insoluble active ingredients or essences in formulations, while also serving as a dispersant to ensure uniform distribution of pigments in cosmetics and sunscreens in sun protection products, maintaining consistent product texture.
2. Specific application scenarios:
(1) Skin care and sunscreen products: it is the core emulsification stabilizer of various moisturizers, body creams, hand creams, essence and sunscreen. It can provide a smooth application experience and improve the uniformity of sunscreen film formation on the skin.
(2) Makeup products: in foundation make-up, BB cream and isolation cream, it can ensure the perfect integration of powder and cream, make the makeup more comfortable, and enhance the structural stability of the product to prevent the product from cracking or water.
(3) Professional hair dye products: In ammonia free dye paste, it can effectively suppress the irritating odor of the dye paste, reduce the viscosity of the paste to make it easier to apply, and help dye molecules better adhere to the hair, improving the durability and brightness of hair dye.
(4) Pharmaceutical industry: With its high melting point (about 45-60 ℃) and excellent lubricity, it is often used as a matrix for medicinal suppositories, helping drugs to slowly release in the body; It can also serve as a lubricant in the pharmaceutical production process, reducing equipment friction.
