Description

Polyglyceryl-10 Tristearate is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from vegetable sources. This compound is valued for its excellent stabilizing, thickening, and conditioning properties, making it a versatile ingredient for creating stable and elegant formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and food industries for its ability to enhance texture and performance.

Application

• As a primary or co-emulsifier in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sunscreens for stable oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions.
• As a viscosity modifier and thickener in personal care products like shampoos, conditioners, and body washes.
• As a skin-conditioning agent and emollient, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel in skincare formulations.
• As a food-grade emulsifier (where compliant) in certain food products, baked goods, and edible coatings.
• As a dispersing agent and stabilizer in pharmaceutical ointments and topical preparations.
• As a key ingredient in makeup products, including foundations and lipsticks, for improved texture and spreadability.
