Polyglycerol oleate

Polyglycerol oleate (CAS 9007-48-1) is a polyglycerol ester of oleic acid used as a non-ionic emulsifier and wetting agent across food, cosmetic, and industrial formulations.

It stabilizes oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsion systems, reducing the need for synthetic co-emulsifiers. In personal care, it functions as an emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent in creams and lotions.

The ingredient improves texture while supporting moisture retention in finished serums. Food manufacturers use it to stabilize fat-based emulsions in chocolate, margarine, and bakery fillings.

Consistent droplet size directly affects shelf life and mouthfeel in these applications. In coatings and adhesive formulations, it improves substrate wetting and pigment dispersion for users.

This contributes to smoother film formation and better adhesion performance. It also acts as a processing aid in elastomer compounding, where surface modification of fillers is required.

Polyglycerol oleate is typically supplied as an amber to yellow viscous liquid. It is available in food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications for various manufacturing requirements.

Food-grade material commonly meets FCC or EU additive standards. Drum and IBC quantities are standard for industrial buyers, with bulk availability depending on the supplier.
