Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate

INCI: Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate

What is Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate?
Polyglyceryl-3 distearate is a diester of methylglucose and stearic acid. It is a natural, non-ionic emulsifier of vegetable origin.

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.
