PEG-4 olivate

PEG-4 olivate (CAS 226708-41-4), also marketed as ethoxylated olive oil fatty acids, is a mild, olive-derived emulsifier.

Where is PEG-4 olivate used?

• Cosmetic emulsions: stabilizes oil-in-water systems while contributing a unique skin-feel profile
• Creams, lotions and serums: supports natural and clean-label positioning
• Food: emulsifier and anti-foaming agent under E570 designation
• Pharmaceutical topical preparations: carrier and solubilizer with a mild, non-ionic surfactant profile
• It also functions as a rheology modifier where viscosity adjustment and emulsion stability must be achieved simultaneously.

Good to know: Buyers should confirm purity specifications and documentation requirements with suppliers prior to sourcing.
