Description

Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate is a high-performance, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from natural glycerin and stearic acid. Its primary value lies in its excellent stabilizing and conditioning properties, making it a versatile ingredient for creating stable, high-quality formulations. This product is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and food industries seeking effective, multifunctional ingredients.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Emulsions: Acts as a primary or co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing long-term stability and a rich, non-greasy skin feel.
• Hair Care Conditioners: Used in conditioners, masks, and leave-in treatments to impart excellent detangling, softness, and shine without buildup.
• Food Industry Emulsifier: Functions as a food-grade emulsifier (E475) in bakery products, margarines, and whipped toppings to improve texture and shelf life.
• Pharmaceutical Ointments & Creams: Serves as a non-irritating emulsifying base for topical drug delivery systems, enhancing product spreadability and absorption.
• Decorative Cosmetics: Stabilizes pigments in color cosmetics like foundations and lipsticks, ensuring even application and consistent color payoff.
• Industrial Applications: Employed as a dispersing agent and lubricant in specialty chemical formulations and textile processing.
