Description

Polyglyceryl-6 Isostearate is a non-ionic, biodegradable surfactant and emulsifier derived from natural sources. This versatile compound is prized for its excellent skin compatibility and ability to form stable oil-in-water emulsions, even in challenging formulations. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries seeking high-performance, mild, and multifunctional ingredients.

Application

• Primary Emulsifier in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sun care products for stable texture and skin feel.
• Co-emulsifier and Stabilizer in pharmaceutical ointments and topical delivery systems.
• Skin Conditioning Agent in cleansers, makeup removers, and serums for its mild and moisturizing properties.
• Viscosity Modifier in liquid soaps, shower gels, and shampoos to enhance product rheology.
• Oil-phase Component in decorative cosmetics like foundations and BB creams for improved pigment dispersion.
• Industrial Applications as a wetting and dispersing agent in specialty chemical formulations.
