What is it?
Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate is a plant-derived emulsifier and skin-conditioner that helps blend oil and liquid-based ingredients in skincare formulations. It is known for creating stable emulsions with a smooth, velvety texture while maintaining a gentle, skin-friendly profile.
Where does it come from?
This ingredient is produced by combining polyglycerin (derived from natural glycerin) with isostearic acid, a fatty acid obtained from plant oils such as coconut or rapeseed. The result is a biodegradable, non-ionic emulsifier ideal for natural and clean beauty formulations.
