Poloxamers are a group of synthetic, amphiphilic so-called block copolymers, which are used as anti-foaming non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers in the cosmetic industry as well as in chemical-technical areas.

They are composed of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide and are liquid, pasty, solid or powdery depending on the degree of ethoxylation.
