What is Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate used for?
As a PEG-free emulsifier, it is suitable for both oil-based and water-based products. It promotes the formation of internal mixtures between non-miscible liquids by modifying the interfacial tension, thus preventing the separation of its components. It also functions as an emollient, contributing to smoother and softer skin.
