Ivanhoe utilizes hot oil esterification reactors to manufacture non-ionic surfactants for personal care formulations. Ivanhoe’s product offering is also sold as food additives and is manufactured under the strict qualify 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 esterification of a glycerin polymer 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, plant based, 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 foaming agents, solubilzers, and emulsifiers.

The benefits of Polyglycerol Esters include:

• PEG Free & 1,4-Dioxane Free
• No Prop 65 Chemicals
• 100% Plant Based & Renewable
• RSPO & Palm Free Options
• Customizable & Multi-Functional 

• Biodegradable & Toxicologically Safe 

• Non-irritating
• Non-GMO, Kosher, Halal 
 

• Water or Oil Solubility

• Foaming Surfactant

Glycerol esters are derived from vegetable sources and function as co-emulsifiers that work in conjunction with higher HLB emulsifiers to form stable emulsions. These esters also act as lubricants and can help solubilize other additives into a wide range of formulations.

Sorbitan esters are low HLB surfactants derived from vegetable sources. Sorbitan esters function as co-emulsifiers and work particularly well with polysorbates to form stable emulsions with increased viscosity.

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.

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.
