Hair-Care Skin-Care

High molecular weight liquid ester for excellent thermal stability

G-66 Guerbet ester is formed by the esterification of 66-carbon triester of citric acid and 20-carbon Guerbet alcohol. It is a high molecular weight ester that remains a liquid at temperatures as low as -10°C and therefore exhibits excellent thermal, color, and oxidative stability. It is recommended for use in products including lotions, creams, and body oils. It is ideal for use as an additive in anhydrous systems, such as sunscreen oils, where it confers a smooth, dry feel to the skin.
