PEG 12 Dilaurate Transparent Liquid Surfactant CAS NO 9005 02 1
OILREE ® MYLA600 (PEG-12 dilaurate) is a transparent liquid surfactant made by precise esterification of lauric acid and polyethylene glycol, and is a non-ionic emulsifier. It can play the role of solubilization, lubrication and dispersion in a variety of formulations. The molecular structure design allows it to easily integrate into the water-based system, creating a stable emulsification effect and delicate texture for face cream, essence and cleaning products. In personal care products, it can gently remove residues without clogging pores, making it suitable for sensitive skin formulas. The balance between hydrophilic and lipophilic groups ensures both mildness and functional efficiency, and has good compatibility with Laureth-7, making it better suited for modern cosmetic formulations.
1. Mode of Performance in Systems
(1) It can reduce the repulsive force between oil and water, evenly emulsify the originally difficult to fuse oil-water phases, and avoid the occurrence of layering and oil-water separation in the product after prolonged storage.
(2) It can help dissolve oils and active ingredients, allowing these active ingredients to be better dispersed in the formula and thus exert their effects more effectively.
(3) It can increase the lubricating feeling of the product. It can be smoother when applying lotion or cleaning the face, and improve the skin feeling experience when using.
(4) Even if there are slight changes in the pH value of the formula or temperature fluctuations during processing, it can help maintain the stability of the formula and reduce problems such as clumping and thinning of the product.
2. Practical Applications
(1) Common face cleaning products, refreshing lotion and daily makeup removers can be added, which can be adapted to both cleaning and basic care scenes.
(2) The solubility of makeup residue is good, which can help improve the cleaning effect.
(3) After using it, the skin will not feel greasy, but will feel refreshed and light, which meets the needs of most people for a comfortable skin sensation.
(4) It can be used not only in the cosmetics industry, but also in the textile and plastic industries to disperse raw materials and increase lubrication, with diverse applications.
3. Formulation Considerations
There is no fixed standard for the recommended addition amount, it mainly depends on the formula requirements, and is generally recommended to be between 1% and 15%. It is easily soluble in water and has stable performance in the pH range of 6-8. As a non-ionic raw material, it can be well matched with oils, other surfactants, and various auxiliary ingredients. Whether it is a basic formula with simple ingredients or a functional formula with complex ingredients, it can be adapted for use.
4. Market Relevance
Its compatibility is very balanced. Whether it is used for facial cleaning, lotion, or face cream, it can keep the formula stable without layering problems, and can keep the product fine and ideal texture. Nowadays, cosmetics formulations increasingly value the multifunctionality and mildness of surfactants, and PEG-12 cinnamic acid ester has good emulsifying ability and is mild and non irritating to use, making it one of the popular preferred raw materials in the industry.
