Olive oil peg-7 esters

Olive oil PEG-7 esters (CAS 103819-46-1), also known as olive oil ethoxylated, is a mild nonionic surfactant derived from the ethoxylation of olive oil fatty acids. It functions as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and moisturizing additive across personal care, cleaning, and textile processing applications.

In rinse-off and leave-on cosmetic formulations, it emulsifies oils and conditioning agents while contributing skin-feel benefits that support moisturizing claims in lotions, cleansers, and hair care products.

Industrial and household cleaning formulations use it to improve surface wetting and soil dispersion on both hard surfaces and fabrics. Textile and leather processing operations incorporate it as a fiber lubricant and wetting agent.

These properties ensure even dye penetration and surface treatment during manufacturing. In food-contact or food-adjacent applications, it can serve as an emulsification aid where ethoxylated vegetable oil derivatives meet applicable regulatory requirements.

Olive oil PEG-7 esters are typically supplied as a liquid or semi-liquid at ambient temperature. Technical and cosmetic grades are the most commonly available, with cosmetic-grade material meeting purity and color specifications.

These specifications are relevant to personal care manufacturing and high-end industrial use. Packaging ranges from drums to intermediate bulk containers, with drum quantities standard for formulators and IBCs available for larger industrial buyers.
