Polyglyceryl-6 Stearate

Description

Polyglyceryl-6 Stearate is a gentle, biodegradable emulsifier used in cosmetics to stabilize water-in-oil emulsions. It is created through the esterification of stearic acid (a fatty acid typically derived from plant oils) with polyglycerin-6. This component is ideal for natural and sensitive cosmetics as it does not irritate the skin and has good compatibility with other ingredients. In cosmetic products, Polyglyceryl-6 Stearate improves texture, reduces formula greasiness, creates a soft, gentle coverage on the skin, and promotes deeper penetration of active substances. It is often used in creams, lotions, serums, and sun protection products.
