POLYGLYCERYL-8 DECAERUCATE/DECAISOSTEARATE/DECARICINOLEATE

Description

POLYGLYCERYL-8 DECAERUCATE/DECAISOSTEARATE/DECARICINOLEATE is a complex emulsifier derived from natural sources, primarily designed for use in skincare formulations. This ingredient is a combination of polyglycerol esters of decaerucic, decaisostearic, and decaricinoleic acids. Its structure allows it to effectively stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, making it valuable in creating smooth, stable creams and lotions.

The ingredient exhibits excellent emulsification properties, helping to blend oil and water-based components in skincare products. It contributes to a luxurious, non-greasy feel upon application, enhancing the overall texture and sensory experience of formulations. POLYGLYCERYL-8 DECAERUCATE/DECAISOSTEARATE/DECARICINOLEATE is particularly useful in formulating products for sensitive skin due to its mild nature and low potential for irritation.

This emulsifier also offers moisturizing benefits, helping to maintain skin hydration by reducing transepidermal water loss. It can improve the spreadability of products and aid in the even distribution of active ingredients throughout the formula. The ingredient is biodegradable and considered environmentally friendly, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable cosmetic ingredients.
