POLYGLYCERYL-20 DOCOSABEHENATE/ISOSTEARATE

Description

POLYGLYCERYL-20 DOCOSABEHENATE/ISOSTEARATE is a complex, multifunctional ingredient used in advanced skincare and cosmetic formulations. This compound is a high-molecular-weight emollient and emulsifier derived from natural sources, combining the properties of polyglyceryl esters with long-chain fatty acids. Its unique structure allows it to function as both a stabilizer and a texture enhancer in various product types.

The ingredient exhibits exceptional spreadability and provides a silky, non-greasy feel on the skin. It is particularly effective in creating stable water-in-oil emulsions, making it valuable for formulating moisturizers, sunscreens, and foundations. POLYGLYCERYL-20 DOCOSABEHENATE/ISOSTEARATE also demonstrates good compatibility with a wide range of active ingredients and helps to improve their delivery into the skin.

Due to its mild nature and skin-friendly properties, this ingredient is suitable for use in products designed for sensitive skin. It helps to maintain the skin's moisture barrier and can contribute to improved hydration levels. Additionally, its ability to form stable emulsions at low concentrations makes it an economical choice for formulators seeking to create high-performance, aesthetically pleasing skincare products.
