Home Products Industries Custom Capabilities About Contact Emulsifiers for Personal Care Products Ivanhoe utilizes hot oil esterification reactors to manufacture non-ionic surfactants for personal care formulations. Ivanhoe’s product offering can also be sold as food additives and is manufactured under the strict quality provisions of our food safety program. Many products are 100% derived from natural plant sources, are non-toxic and serve multiple functions in personal care formulations. Polyglycerol Esters PGE’s are made by the polymerization of glycerin and then esterification with a fatty acid. The glycerin polymer chain length and the degree of esterification determines the physical properties of the ester. PGE’s are made from all natural and renewable raw material sources that have not been genetically modified. PGE’s can replace ethoxylated nonionic surfactants and are multifunctional additives that have emollient properties. The low HLB varieties are used as lubricants, carrier oils or dispersants. The mid-range HLB versions act as emulsifiers and foam stabilizers, while the high HLB products function as solubilizers and emulsifiers.

These esters also act as lubricants and can help solubilize other additives into a wide range of formulations.

Sorbitan esters function as co-emulsifiers and work particularly well with polysorbates to form stable emulsions with increased viscosity. Product Description Appearance HLB S-I 85K Sorbitan Trioleate Liquid 1.8 S-I 65K Sorbitan Tristearate Solid 2.1 S-I 80K Sorbitan Monooleate Liquid 4.3 S-I 60K Sorbitan Monostearate Solid 4.7 S-I 20K Sorbitan Monolaurate Liquid 8.6 Polysorbates Polysorbates are high HLB surfactants made via the ethoxylation of sorbitan esters. The HLBs of these surfactants also range from water dispersible to water soluble and have superior stability across all types of formulations, including both acidic and caustic systems. Product Description Appearance HLB T-I 81K Polysorbate 81 Liquid 10.0 T-I 65K Polysorbate 65 Solid 10.5 T-I 85K Polysorbate 85 Liquid 11.0 T-I 80K Polysorbate 80 Liquid 15.0 T-I 60K Polysorbate 60 Semi-Solid 15.2 T-I 20K Polysorbate 20 Liquid 16.7 PEG Esters PEG esters are made via the esterification of polyethylene glycols with fatty acids and serve multiple functions in personal care formulations. Their HLBs range from water dispersible to water soluble and are stable in high electrolyte systems with a pH that is near neutral.
