Sucrose Fatty Acid Esters

Sucrrose Fatty Acid Esters (Sucrose Esters of Fatty Acids;Sucroesters)

Alias:Fatty Acid Sucrose Esters, Sucrose Esters,AbbreviationSE(SUGAR ESTERS).

A non-ionic surfactant, a substance or mixture produced by the esterification reaction of sucrose and fatty acids. Because sucrose contains8—OHgroups, various products from monoesters to octoesters can be generated through esterification. The —OHgroup of sucrose serves as the hydrophilic group, while the carbon chain part of the fatty acid serves as the lipophilic group, commonly using higher fatty acids such as stearic acid, oleic acid, and palmitic acid (the product is in powder form), as well as lower fatty acids such as acetic acid and isobutyric acid (the product is in a viscous resin form).

According to the types of fatty acids, it can be divided into sucrose stearate, sucrose palmitate, etc.

Properties: White to yellow powder, or colorless to slightly yellow viscous liquid or soft solid, odorless or with a slight special smell. Easily soluble in ethanol and acetone. Monoesters are soluble in hot water, but diesters or triesters are difficult to dissolve in water. The higher the content of monoesters, the stronger the hydrophilicity; the more diesters and triesters, the stronger the lipophilicity.

Based on the esterification number of sucrose hydroxyls, a series of sucrose fatty acid esters with varyingHLBvalues (1～16) can be obtained. It has surfactant properties, can reduce surface tension, and has good emulsifying, dispersing, solubilizing, lubricating, penetrating, foaming, and viscosity-regulating properties.

Function: Emulsifier, can also act as a preservative. High-quality fatty acid sucrose esters are odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic, making them excellent emulsifiers. At the same time, they are non-irritating to eyes and skin, suitable for use in cosmetics. They have excellent biodegradability, and the degradation products are harmless and do not cause environmental pollution.

Sucrose fatty acid esters are mainly used in cosmetics as moisturizers, emulsifiers, skin conditioning agents, and surfactants. As a moisturizing emulsifier, it has effects such as moisturizing, protecting sebum, and reducing dehydration of the surface skin, achieving good skin conditioning effects. It also acts as a wetting agent, dispersant, and solubilizer, and can be used in facial or body care, after-sun repair, and baby care products.

Cosmetic product applications: Face cream, face mask, eye cream, hand cream, lotion,facial cleanser, toothpaste, makeup remover, shower gel, lipstick, lip balm, lip glaze,sunscreen spray, etc.
