MACADAMIA SEED OIL POLYGLYCERYL-6 ESTERS BEHENATE

Description

Macadamia Seed Oil Polyglyceryl-6 Esters Behenate is an innovative, plant-derived emollient and emulsifier that combines the benefits of macadamia seed oil with the functionality of a polyglyceryl ester. This multifunctional ingredient is produced through the esterification of macadamia seed oil fatty acids with polyglycerin-6 and behenic acid.

The compound offers excellent moisturizing properties while providing a smooth, non-greasy skin feel. It functions as an effective oil phase emulsifier, enhancing the stability of water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions. This ingredient is particularly useful in formulations where a light, silky texture is desired, such as facial creams, body lotions, and sunscreens.

Macadamia Seed Oil Polyglyceryl-6 Esters Behenate is known for its ability to improve product spreadability and enhance the overall sensory experience of skincare formulations. It is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients and can be used in both leave-on and rinse-off products. This versatile compound is suitable for various skin types and is often favored in natural and clean beauty formulations due to its plant-based origin and mild nature.
