Common Name(s): Ppg-5 lanolin wax glyceride,ppg-5 lanolin wax glyceride (combined lanolin wax + glyceride modification) derivative

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Helps oil and water blend and provides emollient conditioning.

Why It's Used: Ppg-5 modification of lanolin wax glyceride (combined lanolin wax + glyceride modification) gives hlb ~4–6; balanced lanolin wax glyceride emollient; ppg modification plus glyceride character.

How It Works: Ppg-5 arms provide lipophilic character; lanolin wax glyceride (combined lanolin wax + glyceride modification) contributes the hydrophobic/emollient tail; hlb ~4–6.

Typically Found In: W/o emulsions,emollient systems,specialty skin care

TECHNICAL DETAILS
