| overview | polyglycerol -2 isostearate is an ester derivative, which has excellent emulsifying properties. due to its non-irritation to human skin and hair, it has high safety, can make skin and hair soft and smooth and comfortable, and is suitable for advanced cosmetics and children's cosmetics. |
| performance advantage | performance advantage of polyglycerol -2 isostearate 1. excellent emulsifying performance, mainly used as water-in-oil (W/O) emulsifier, can emulsify more water phase with less oil phase. Suitable for water-in-oil cream and emulsion. Formulation of foundation and other products. The oil-coated aquatic products prepared with them are oily but not greasy. At the same time, compared with nonionic polyoxyethylene surfactants, it can show excellent oxidation stability and acid and alkali resistance. Compared with sucrose, glycerol, sorbitol ester, etc., it has excellent thermal stability. 2. The refractive index is high, and the adhesion on the skin is strong but not sticky. It is very suitable for use in lipstick, lip gloss and other makeup products as emollient. 3. No epoxy group, raw material plant source, green and safe, no irritation to skin, suitable for the production of baby skin care products.
