Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate beskrivning
Polyglyceryl-6 polyrincioleate is a polymeric ester (polyester) made from a blend of castor oil and the humectant polyglycerin-6. It offers emollient and emulsifying properties in cosmetics, which helps keep products with unlike ingredients (think oil and water) from separating. This ingredient has aesthetic benefits, too: along with a smooth, lubricating feel it also adds cushion and improves spreadability of lotions and creams. It also helps keep pigments and other ingredients properly dispersed in formulas. Usage levels of polyglyceryl-6 polyricinoleate range from 0.25–2%, with amounts up to 10% being used when this ingredient is part of a blend with similar ingredients. It may be plant-derived or synthetic and is considered safe and non-irritating as used in cosmetics.
