Description

Polyglyceryl-6 Pentastearate is a non-ionic, multifunctional surfactant and emulsifier derived from natural glycerin and stearic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent stabilizing and conditioning properties, making it a key 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, improve stability, and provide a smooth, creamy feel.

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 texture.
• Hair Care Products: Used in conditioners, hair masks, and styling products for its excellent conditioning and detangling properties.
• Food Industry: Functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer in various food products, including baked goods, dairy analogs, and whipped toppings.
• Skin Care Formulations: Enhances the skin feel and moisturization in anti-aging serums, moisturizers, and body butters.
• Pharmaceutical Ointments: Serves as a non-irritating emulsifying base for topical pharmaceutical preparations, aiding in drug delivery and cream consistency.
• Industrial Applications: Can be utilized as a lubricant, anti-static agent, or processing aid in specific industrial formulations.

Quality Control

Our Polyglyceryl-6 Pentastearate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as acid value, saponification value, and fatty acid composition are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider keeping it under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen to maintain optimal quality and shelf life. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
