Overview
Polyglyceryl-10 stearate is an emulsifying ingredient that is useful for creating both oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions.
Oftentimes, this ingredient is used as a secondary emulsifier and is paired with another emulsifier to produce stable emulsions with a wide range of textures. When the goal is to create a water-in-oil emulsion, polyglyceryl-10 stearate pairs well with ingredients like glyceryl stearate. When the goal is to create an oil-in-water emulsion, polyglyceryl-10 stearate pairs well with cetearyl alcohol.
It is a plant-derived ingredient that fits perfectly within the natural product scene, and it provides an alternative to synthetic ingredients.
