How can I discover who created an ingredient?
Posted by pma on April 14, 2021 at 12:58 amI’d like to know who created the surfactant . PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, if it was created by Croda, Nikkol, Nihon Emulsion or Nof Corp. (all of them make and sell that surfactant).

Get a sample from each of them with the Certificate of Analysis. Then conduct a study on each sample to see if there is some characteristic that is different about one over any of the others.

Hi Perry, I didn’t understood why this test would show which company was the first one to create that ingredient…

Perhaps I’m not understanding your question.
Are you asking which company invented a molecule?I assumed you had a raw material but didn’t know who manufactured it. My answer was telling you one way to identify the manufacturer of a specific sample.
Perhaps, reword your question? What exactly are you trying to figure out?

Yes, I’d like to know which company invented that molecule…

Like Perry, I am puzzled why this info is important, but likely you would have to do a patent search as a first step.
