  • Applications

    Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate (CAS 94423-19-5) is a nonionic ester commonly used as an emulsifier and surfactant in cosmetic and personal care formulations. It helps stabilize oil-in-water emulsions and provides conditioning properties in creams, lotions, and hair-care products, and it can act as a thickener and texture enhancer in emulsions. Beyond cosmetics, it is used in household cleaning products as a surfactant/emulsifier to improve wetting and cleaning performance, and it may serve as a processing aid or lubricious additive in polymer processing. It can also function as an additive in coatings and inks to aid emulsification and flow, and in pharmaceuticals as an excipient/emulsifier in topical formulations where permitted by regulation.
