PEG-200 hydrogenated glyceryl palmate

PEG-200 hydrogenated glyceryl palmate (CAS 67784-88-7), also recognized commercially as palm-oil glycerides hydrogenated ethoxylated, is a polyethylene glycol ester derived from hydrogenated palm oil glycerides.

It functions primarily as an emulsifier and rheology modifier across personal care, pharmaceutical, and industrial formulations. In rinse-off and leave-on cosmetic formulations, it stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions.

This ingredient contributes a smooth, moisturizing skin feel, making it a practical dual-function ingredient in creams, lotions, and cleansers. Pharmaceutical topical preparations use it to ensure uniform dispersion.

It helps maintain active ingredients within emollient bases for consistent delivery. In textile processing, it acts as a fiber lubricant and softening emulsifier, improving fabric handle during finishing operations.

Paper and leather processing operations also use it to control surface rheology and improve treatment uniformity. PEG-200 hydrogenated glyceryl palmate is typically supplied as a paste or waxy solid.

The physical state depends on temperature and formulation grade. Cosmetic and personal care grades are the most commonly available, with supply aligned to INCI-recognized specifications for global trade.

Pharmaceutical-grade material meeting BP or Ph.Eur. standards may be sourced for topical drug formulation applications. This ensures high purity and compliance for sensitive medical manufacturing.
