Description

Polyglyceryl-2 Tetrastearate is a non-ionic, lipophilic emulsifier and consistency regulator derived from vegetable sources. This compound is valued for its ability to stabilize emulsions, provide a rich, creamy texture, and enhance the sensory profile of finished products. It is primarily utilized by formulators in the cosmetics, personal care, and food industries seeking reliable, multifunctional ingredients.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and co-emulsifier in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• Consistency factor and thickener for lipsticks, deodorant sticks, and makeup formulations.
• Stabilizing agent for water-in-oil (W/O) and oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions.
• Opacifying agent to impart a pearlescent or opaque appearance.
• Texture enhancer in food-grade applications, such as margarines and whipped toppings.
• Conditioning agent in hair care products to improve manageability and feel.
• Base material for the production of specialty esters and other derivatives.

Quality Control

Our Polyglyceryl-2 Tetrastearate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets consistent purity and performance specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as acid value, saponification value, and hydroxyl value are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen blanket) to maintain optimal quality.
