POLYGLYCERYL-10 DECAETHYLHEXANOATE

Description

POLYGLYCERYL-10 DECAETHYLHEXANOATE is a versatile synthetic ester derived from polyglycerol and ethylhexanoic acid. This multifunctional ingredient serves as an emollient, emulsifier, and viscosity-controlling agent in various skincare and cosmetic formulations. Its unique chemical structure allows it to effectively disperse pigments and create stable emulsions, making it particularly valuable in color cosmetics and sunscreen products.

The compound exhibits excellent skin compatibility and provides a smooth, non-greasy feel when applied topically. It helps to enhance the spreadability of formulations and can improve the overall texture of skincare products. POLYGLYCERYL-10 DECAETHYLHEXANOATE is known for its ability to form clear, low-viscosity solutions, which makes it ideal for use in lightweight serums and lotions.

In addition to its emollient properties, this ingredient can also act as a mild surfactant, aiding in the gentle cleansing of the skin without causing excessive dryness. Its low irritation potential makes it suitable for use in products designed for sensitive skin types. POLYGLYCERYL-10 DECAETHYLHEXANOATE is often utilized in formulations where a balance between moisturization and a non-greasy finish is desired, contributing to the overall efficacy and sensory experience of skincare products.
