Product Overview
NIKOO's PEG-20 Stearate (INCI: *PEG-20 Stearate*, CAS 9005-00-9) is a plant-sourced, non-ionic surfactant synthesized from stearic acid and ethylene oxide. This white waxy solid (purity ≥98%) excels as an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsifier, solubilizer, and viscosity modifier. With high hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB 15–17), it delivers exceptional stability in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial formulations, aligning with global clean beauty and sustainability trends
PEG-20 stearate is a widely used emulsifier in cosmetics and is not a restricted substance. Its INCI name is polyethylene glycol stearate, and it has the following characteristics:
Chemical Properties
Chemical Structure: Composed of polyethylene glycol and stearate, it exhibits emulsifying properties and can improve the stability and sensory quality of cosmetics.
Safety Risk: Low comedogenicity risk and high safety.
Core Applications & Benefits
Applications: Skin care creams and lotions, hair care products
Personal Care Products: Widely used in creams, cleansing oils, and cleansing gels as a primary or secondary emulsifier.
Benefits: Emulsifies oily ingredients, improves product stability, and provides moisturizing properties.
1. An oil-in-water emulsifier, can be used alone or as a co-emulsifier to produce highly stable emulsions with excellent appearance and feel.
2. Compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients, it is ideal for formulations containing high concentrations of electrolytes, such as antiperspirant salts, NMF actives, AHAs, and hyaluronic acid.
3. It can be used to formulate emulsified systems with high or low internal phase (oil phase) concentrations. The resulting emulsified pastes have a glossy appearance, excellent cold and hot stability, and viscosity stability, with pH values ranging from as low as 3 to as high as 14.
4. It can improve the spreadability of hair care products and enhance the colorability of hair dyes. Suggested dosage: 2-10%
Storage & Handling
Conditions: 25°C max, ≤60% humidity, sealed/light-resistant containers
Safety: Non-irritating; use gloves/goggles during industrial handling
