Description

Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate is a gentle non-ionic emulsifier, created based on glycerin and derivatives of hydroxystearic acid. Its main task is to stabilize water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, providing a soft, comfortable texture without stickiness. This component allows for the creation of waterproof and nourishing formulas, especially in sun protection cosmetics, BB creams, balms, and baby products. It also acts as a softener, does not irritate the skin, and is suitable even for sensitive skin.
