Almond oil PEG-6 esters

Almond oil PEG-6 esters (CAS 124046-50-0) is an ethoxylated almond oil derivative used as a mild, oil-soluble emulsifier and wetting agent across personal care and industrial formulations.

By combining the skin-compatible fatty acid profile of almond oil with a short polyethylene glycol chain, it bridges oil and water phases in systems where conventional surfactants may be too harsh.

In rinse-off and leave-on cosmetics, including bath oils and hair conditioners, it functions as a self-emulsifying component that also contributes moisturization to the finished formula.

Solubilizing fragrance and lipophilic actives in aqueous personal care bases is a key procurement driver, reducing the need for additional co-emulsifiers in complex chemical systems.

In food-contact and nutraceutical coating applications, it supports uniform oil dispersion across tablet or confectionery surfaces to ensure consistent product appearance and performance.

Coatings and adhesive formulations use it as a surface-active wetting agent to improve substrate adhesion and film uniformity during the application and curing processes.

Almond oil PEG-6 esters is typically supplied as a liquid or low-viscosity oily liquid, suitable for direct incorporation into batch processes for efficient manufacturing workflows.

Cosmetic-grade is the primary commercial specification, with supply conforming to standard industry purity requirements for topical use in drum and IBC quantities from distributors.
