Description

Polyglyceryl-6 Sesquistearate is a non-ionic, multifunctional surfactant and emulsifier derived from natural glycerin and stearic acid. This compound is highly valued for its excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and conditioning properties, making it a versatile ingredient for creating stable and elegant formulations. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and food industries seeking high-performance, skin-friendly ingredients.

Application

• Primary W/O (Water-in-Oil) and O/W (Oil-in-Water) emulsifier in creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• Key ingredient in makeup formulations, including foundations, lipsticks, and mascaras, for improved texture and stability.
• Used as a co-emulsifier and stabilizer in pharmaceutical ointments and topical delivery systems.
• Functions as a viscosity modifier and pearlizing agent in shampoos, conditioners, and shower gels.
• Employed as a dispersing agent for pigments and powders in color cosmetics.
• Applicable in select food-grade applications as an emulsifier (where compliant with local regulations).
