Polyglyceryl-6 Distearate is a diester of stearic acid and Polyglycerin-6. It is an ingredient of choice for green cosmetics due to its excellent tolerance profile, vegetable origin, and pleasant skin feel. It is also used in lotions as a soothing agent, oil-in-water emulsifier, and as astringent. It is a 100% natural, PEG-free ingredient with an HLB value of 9 adapted for green-line products. It has the ability to create a comfortable film on the skin after use, which can protect the skin against harsh cold weather by maintaining the moisture levels in the skin. Or in humid/hot conditions it keeps the skin from getting too greasy or oily allowing the skin to feel lightweight. It is relatively safe to use on sensitive skin and in natural formulations. Reducing the risk of skin sensitization. Great to use in products with a pH4-pH10 as it emits a higher moisturizing capability.
