Oleoyl macrogolglycerides, is a mixture of monoesters, diesters and triesters of glycerol and monoesters and diesters of macrogols (polyethylene glycols (PEG) with a mean relative molecular mass of 300). It is obtained by partial alcoholysis of unsaturated oils containing mainly triglycerides of oleic (cis-9-octadecenoic) acid using macrogol (PEG) or by esterification of glycerol and macrogol (PEG) with unsaturated fatty acids or by mixture of glycerol esters and condensates of ethylene oxide with the fatty acids of these unsaturated oils. The product may contain free polyethylene glycols. It is manufactured in USA.
