Oleochemical Options for Quality Personal Care Products

  • Soybean
  • Fractionated
  • Stearic
  • Oleic

Medium Chain Triglycerides

MCTs in personal care can be used as a non-greasy and naturally derived emollient, a carrier oil for fragrance or active ingredients. These sustainable ingredients are gentle, may have anti-inflammatory properties, and can improve the skin barrier.

Fatty alcohols work as an emulsifier, surfactant, emollient, and thickener for personal care products. Derived from plants, these biodegradable and natural alcohols are a sustainable choice.
  • Lauryl
  • Cetyl
  • Stearyl
  • Cetyl Stearyl
  • Arachidyl

Glycerin

Plant-derived glycerin brings smoothness to the product texture and hydration for skin. It’s a vegan-friendly and sustainable choice for personal care products.
  • Food Grade 99.7 USP glycerin in standard, Kosher, and Kosher for Passover varieties.
  • Food Grade 96.0 USP Kosher Glycerin.

Methyl Esters

Methyl esters work as a natural emollient ingredient for personal care products. CREMER can supply sustainable methyl esters in varying cuts for different evaporation speeds.
