Polyglyceryl-2 Sesquioleate

Polyglyceryl-2 Sesquioleate is a 100% naturally derived, W/O emulsifier. It is a PEG-free and renewably sourced co-emulsifier. It has a light and soft skin feel with an elegant texture. Exhibits low oiliness and excellent spreading behavior.

Polyglyceryl-2 sesquioleate is commonly used in the cosmetics and personal care industry. It belongs to the class of polyglyceryl esters, which are derived from glycerin and fatty acids. This particular compound is used to help mix oil and water-based ingredients in cosmetic formulations, making it especially useful in products that require both hydrophilic (water-loving) and lipophilic (oil-loving) components to be combined.

Here are some key points about Polyglyceryl-2 sesquioleate:

  1. Emulsification: Emulsifiers like polyglyceryl-2 sesquioleate play a crucial role in forming stable emulsions. Emulsions are mixtures of two immiscible liquids, such as water and oil. They are commonly used in products like creams, lotions, and makeup to ensure a smooth and consistent texture.

  2. Surfactant Properties: Polyglyceryl-2 sesquioleate also acts as a surfactant, which means it helps reduce the surface tension between different substances, allowing them to mix more easily. This is particularly important in cosmetics, where proper mixing of ingredients enhances the performance and aesthetics of the product.

  3. Skin Feel and Texture: This ingredient can contribute to the sensory experience of a cosmetic product. It can impart a smooth and lightweight feel to formulations, which is desirable in products applied to the skin.

  4. Mildness: Polyglyceryl-2 sesquioleate is often chosen for its mildness on the skin. It is suitable for various skin types, including sensitive skin, and is less likely to cause irritation compared to some other emulsifiers or surfactants.

  5. Stability: Emulsifiers like polyglyceryl-2 sesquioleate help maintain the stability of cosmetic formulations by preventing the separation of oil and water phases over time. This is important for the overall quality and shelf life of the product.

  6. Applications: This ingredient can be found in a range of cosmetic and personal care products, including creams, lotions, sunscreens, makeup products, and more.

  7. Ingredient Compatibility: Like any cosmetic ingredient, polyglyceryl-2 sesquioleate should be considered in the context of the entire formulation to ensure compatibility with other ingredients and to achieve the desired product characteristics.

It's worth noting that the specific properties and functions of polyglyceryl-2 sesquioleate may vary depending on the concentration used in the formulation and its combination with other ingredients. Formulators carefully select emulsifiers and surfactants based on the desired characteristics of the final product.
