Description

Polyglyceryl-10 Pentastearate is a high-performance, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from natural glycerin and stearic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent stabilizing and conditioning properties, making it a versatile ingredient for creating stable, high-quality formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and food industries for its ability to enhance texture, stability, and sensory appeal.

Application

• As a primary or co-emulsifier in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sun care products for enhanced stability.
• As a texture enhancer and opacifier in shampoos, conditioners, and hair styling products.
• In decorative cosmetics, such as foundations and lipsticks, to improve pigment dispersion and smooth application.
• As a food-grade emulsifier and stabilizer in certain bakery products and edible coatings.
• In pharmaceutical ointments and topical creams as a non-irritating emulsifying base.
• For industrial applications requiring a biodegradable and mild surfactant in cleaning or agrochemical formulations.

Quality Control

Our Polyglyceryl-10 Pentastearate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and performance, consistent with industry standards for cosmetic and food-grade ingredients. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, acid value, saponification value, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
