PEG-10 Olive Glycerides is an ethoxylated olive oil, a yellow to brown non-ionic liquid (or paste depending on temperature; melting point ~ 11 ⁰C) with a characteristic odor. It is primarily used as an emollient, solubilizer, co-emulsifier, and hydrophilic refatting agent.
PEG-10 Olive Glycerides acts as a solubilizer for essential oils and triglycerides without any unfavorable influence on lathering power or thickening properties in cleansing applications and surfactant formulations. It provides a clear and homogeneous final product and is especially suitable for body cleansing applications.
Thanks to its emulsifying properties with an HLB value of 13, PEG-10 Olive Glycerides is used as a co-emulsifier in creams and lotions.
