Understanding the Specifications: PEG-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate in Cosmetic Production
The efficacy and stability of cosmetic products are intrinsically linked to the quality and precise specifications of the raw materials used in their formulation. PEG-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate (CAS 72175-39-4) is a prime example of an ingredient whose performance is dictated by its detailed specifications. As a leading supplier of cosmetic raw materials, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. places significant emphasis on ensuring that our PEG-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate meets rigorous quality standards, thereby empowering formulators to achieve optimal results.
One of the most readily identifiable specifications for this compound is its appearance. At 25°C, PEG-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate is described as a pale yellow, soft solid. This physical state is convenient for handling and incorporation into various cosmetic bases, such as creams and lotions. Understanding this pale yellow soft solid appearance is the first step for formulators assessing its suitability for their product line.
Beyond appearance, several chemical parameters are critical for ensuring the performance and compatibility of PEG-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate. The acid value, for instance, indicates the amount of free acids present. A low acid value, typically capped at a maximum of 1.5 in industry standards, is crucial for maintaining the stability of the emulsion and preventing unwanted reactions with other ingredients. Similarly, the hydroxyl value provides insight into the number of hydroxyl groups, affecting its emulsifying and moisturizing capabilities.
The pH of a 10% aqueous solution, usually falling within the range of 4.5 to 7.5, is another vital specification. This slightly acidic to neutral pH ensures compatibility with the skin's natural pH and a wide range of other cosmetic ingredients, minimizing the risk of irritation or formulation instability. These detailed acid value, hydroxyl value, and pH specifications are not merely technical data points; they are foundational to developing safe and effective cosmetic products.
