PEG-75 shea butter glycerides
Description
PEG-75 shea butter glycerides (CAS 226993-83-5), also known commercially as glycerides, shea butter, ethoxylated, is an ethoxylated derivative of shea butter used as an emulsifier and moisturizing agent.
It bridges oil and water phases while simultaneously delivering the skin-conditioning benefits associated with shea-derived lipids. In rinse-off and leave-on cosmetics, it functions as an emulsifier that stabilizes oil-in-water systems.
Including lotions, creams, and hair conditioners, it contributes humectancy to the final product. Shampoo and body wash formulators use it to improve wet-feel and deposit conditioning actives more uniformly onto skin and hair.
In coatings and adhesive formulations, it acts as a wetting and dispersing agent, improving substrate adhesion and surface leveling. Its surface-active character also supports pigment dispersion in emulsion-based coating systems.
PEG-75 shea butter glycerides is typically supplied as a paste or waxy solid, reflecting its ethoxylated lipid base. It is available in cosmetic-grade specification, meeting the requirements of personal care raw material standards.
Packaging is commonly offered in drums or totes suited to industrial formulation volumes. This versatile ingredient ensures stability and performance across a wide range of personal care and industrial applications.
