Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil Polyglyceryl-6 Esters is a multifunctional ingredient derived from the Marula tree, native to Southern Africa. This modified oil combines the benefits of Marula seed oil with the emulsifying properties of polyglyceryl-6 esters, creating a versatile compound for skincare formulations.

The ingredient exhibits excellent emollient properties, helping to soften and smooth the skin while improving its moisture retention capabilities. It forms a protective barrier on the skin's surface, reducing transepidermal water loss and promoting overall skin health. The polyglyceryl-6 esters component enhances the oil's stability and compatibility with other ingredients, making it suitable for various cosmetic formulations.

Rich in antioxidants, particularly vitamin E and flavonoids, this ingredient offers protection against free radical damage and environmental stressors. It also possesses anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. The lightweight texture of Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil Polyglyceryl-6 Esters allows for quick absorption without leaving a greasy residue, making it ideal for use in facial moisturizers, serums, and body lotions.
