Polyglyceryl-3 Oleate (Triglycerol monooleate) is a polyglycerol ester prepared from glycerine and edible oils or fatty acids. It is an oil-soluble emulsifier derived from naturally occurring vegetable oil raw materials for personal care applications and a multi-purpose additive for food products.

Polyglyceryl-3 Oleate is soluble in isopropyl alcohol, toluene, and mineral oil, dispersable in mineral spirits, and insoluble in water. Its HLB value is 7.

Polyglyceryl-3 Oleate is a PEG-free, non-ionic, non-alkoxylated emulsifier for skin care emulsions, baby care products, and hypoallergenic products. It is suitable for preparing low-temperature emulsions.

Derived from naturally renewable resources,  Polyglyceryl-3 Oleate is an excellent replacement for ethylene oxide-based surfactants. It is a clear yellow liquid with a bland odor and taste that disperses in water and is soluble in vegetable oil, mineral oils, and isopropyl alcohol.

Polyglyceryl-3 Oleate enables the effective emulsification of liquid oils and harder fats in the formulation. It provides better “lead” control and improves performance in conjunction with lecithin.

Polyglyceryl-3 Oleate is a food-grade, safe, and multifunctional ingredient. It is manufactured to meet the Kosher requirements designated by the Orthodox Union (OU).
