Polidocanol

I’m looking to formulate a shampoo containing polidocanol; does anyone know where I could obtain small quantities?

Here in Switzerland, you can get PhEur quality at every pharmacy. At least, they can easily organise it (50g, 250g or 500g).

I can’t find it anywhere! Not even on Alibaba.com — my usual Chinese supplier doesn’t have it — can anyone recommend alternates in China? India? Korea?

Maybe try searching under a synonym? Macrogoli 9 aether laurilicus (or laurilicum) and macrogol-6-laurylether

Thanks for the help. No luck. I have asked my son to try the pharmacies in Belgium.

Hi belassi,

This is because it is a drug, I doubt you can use it in formulas

Hi belassi

I actually found a number of suppliers, I can probably send it to you.

Please inbox me

Ain’t polidecanol the same as Laureth- , aka ethoxylated lauryl alcohol?

If it is, then you can contact Oxiteno (they have an office in Mexico), or Sasol about their Marlipal product range.

Lots of generic ethoxylated lauryl alcohol suppliers too.
