PEG-10 AVOCADO OIL GLYCERYL ESTERS

Description

PEG-10 Avocado Oil Glyceryl Esters is a multifunctional ingredient derived from avocado oil, widely used in skincare and haircare formulations. This modified lipid combines the nourishing properties of avocado oil with enhanced solubility and emulsifying capabilities. The PEG-10 modification improves its miscibility with water and other ingredients, making it an excellent choice for various cosmetic applications.

In skincare, PEG-10 Avocado Oil Glyceryl Esters acts as an emollient and moisturizer, helping to soften and smooth the skin. It forms a protective barrier that reduces transepidermal water loss, promoting hydration and improving skin texture. The ingredient also aids in the even distribution of other active components within formulations.

For haircare products, it serves as a conditioning agent, helping to detangle and add shine to hair strands. Its lightweight nature allows for effective moisturization without leaving a heavy or greasy residue. PEG-10 Avocado Oil Glyceryl Esters is particularly beneficial in leave-in conditioners, hair masks, and styling products, where it can help improve manageability and reduce frizz.
