OLETH-5 Cosmetic Emulsifier – High-Performance Emulsifier for Hair Care, Dye, Perm, and Skincare Products
Introduction:
OLETH-5 is a premium non-ionic emulsifier and co-emulsifier designed for versatile cosmetic applications. Its liquid form allows for cold processing, making it highly adaptable in formulations without the need for heat. This emulsifier is ideal for a wide range of products, including O/W (oil-in-water) emulsions, hair conditioners, hair dyes, perming solutions, bath oils, and skincare formulations. With excellent solubility in cosmetic oils, it also acts as an effective solvent enhancer, improving product stability and texture.
Key Features:
1.Superior Emulsification & Thickening: OLETH-5 exhibits strong emulsifying properties, ensuring stable and uniform formulations. It enhances viscosity, improving the richness of creams and lotions.
2.Broad Compatibility: Compatible with various oils, it is suitable for makeup removers, shower oils, and oil-based treatments.
3. Multi-Functional Performance: Beyond emulsification, it provides wetting and dispersing benefits, aiding in the even distribution of active ingredients.
4. Mild & Stable: With a neutral pH (6.0–8.0) and low acid/water content, it is gentle for cosmetic use while maintaining formulation integrity.
