Glyceryl Trioleate (122-32-7)

Glyceryl Trioleate is a triglyceride ester formed from glycerol and oleic acid. It appears as a clear to pale yellow oily liquid, insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents and oils. It is stable under normal conditions but can undergo oxidation when exposed to air over time. It has good lubricating, emollient, and plasticizing properties.
It is widely used in cosmetics and personal care products as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent, providing softness and moisture retention. In pharmaceuticals, it is used as an excipient and carrier in formulations. It also finds application in food industry as a fat component and in industrial lubricants due to its stability and viscosity properties. Additionally, it is used in coatings, plasticizers, and specialty chemical formulations. Its biocompatibility and non-toxic nature make it valuable in both industrial and consumer product applications.
