Description

Polyglyceryl-2 Isostearate is a non-ionic, biodegradable surfactant derived from natural fatty acids and glycerol. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and conditioning properties, making it a key ingredient in formulations requiring mildness and skin compatibility. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries to create stable, high-quality emulsions and lotions.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and co-emulsifier in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• Stabilizing agent for water-in-oil (W/O) and oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions in personal care formulations.
• Skin conditioning agent that imparts a soft, smooth feel without greasiness.
• Key ingredient in makeup products, including foundations and lipsticks, for improved texture and spreadability.
• Used in pharmaceutical topical preparations as a non-irritating emulsifier.
• Functional additive in hair care products for conditioning and manageability.
