Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate

Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate is a mild emulsifier of plant origin , obtained by combining polyglycerin-10 and stearic acid. It is a PEG-free, biodegradable, non-ethoxylated raw material, known for its good tolerability even on sensitive skin . In cosmetics, it is used mainly for the creation of stable oil-in-water emulsions , improving texture and spreadability and leaving a pleasant non-greasy skin feel. In addition, it can also function as a solubilizer for certain oils or fragrances. Key benefits: Creates stable emulsions of the oil-in-water (O/W) type. PEG-free, of plant origin and biodegradable. Mild and gentle – suitable even for sensitive skin. Supports lamellar structure , which improves product stability and sensory feel. Good compatibility with electrolytes , allowing broad use in formulations. Suitable for products such as: Facial creams and body lotions Light hydrating fluids and gel-creams Serums and essences Cleansing gels, foams and mild make-up removers Use in formulation: Dosage: typically 1–5% depending on product type. Processing: added to the oil phase ; heating at approximately 55 °C is recommended. Solubility: insoluble in water, soluble in the oil phase. pH stability: suitable for formulations with pH 3–10 . Emulsion type: oil-in-water (O/W). HLB value: ~ 12–13 (information for designing emulsion systems). Note: specific dosage and combinations need to be adjusted to the target texture and formulation type. Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate is a plant-based, PEG-free emulsifier with HLB ~12–13, ideal for creating stable and mild emulsions; it improves skin feel an
