What Is PEG-13 SUNFLOWER GLYCERIDES?

PEG-13 SUNFLOWER GLYCERIDES 是一种PEG化葵花籽油甘油酯，由葵花籽油（富含亚油酸和维生素E）与PEG-13酯化制得。作为天然来源的非离子乳化剂和润肤剂，PEG-13链长提供中等亲水性（HLB ≈ 12–14），适合水包油乳化体系。相比短链PEG版本，具有更好的滋润感和更温和的肤感。(PEG-13 SUNFLOWER GLYCERIDES is a PEGylated sunflower oil glyceride. With PEG-13 chain length providing moderate hydrophilicity (HLB ≈ 12-14), it is ideal for O/W emulsion systems. Compared to shorter-chain PEG versions, it offers better moisturization and milder skin feel.)
