Polyglyceryl-6 Stearate
Polyglyceryl-6 StearateBarrier
A plant-derived nonionic emulsifier used to form stable oil-in-water creams and lotions.
What it does
Polyglyceryl-6 Stearate is an ester of several glycerin units and stearic acid. The water-loving glyceryl part and oil-loving stearate part let it bind oil and water into a stable emulsion, often paired with other polyglyceryl esters. It is a formulation ingredient rather than a skin active.
