PEG-35 Soy Glycerides is a blend of ethoxylated (35 moles of ethylene oxide) mono- and diglycerides of soybean oil. Thanks to ethoxylation, it is a water-soluble, waxy paste that is stable across a wide pH range, nonionic, and compatible with other ionic ingredients in various formulations.
PEG-35 Soy Glycerides enables the formulation of clear, water-based products, functioning as a mild secondary surfactant and rheological control agent that provides lubricity and leaves a pleasant after-feel on the skin. According to the manufacturer's claim, it reduces the potential for irritation from other (primary) surfactants in the final product.
PEG-35 Soy Glycerides is used as a solubilizer and emulsifier with an HLB value of 16-18 in lotions, creams, and hair care products. It is a safe ingredient for personal care products used in cosmetic concentrations of 0.5-5.0%.
