Description

Polyglyceryl-10 Isostearyl Ether is an ether formed by the reaction of a glycerin polymer containing 10 glycerin units with isostearyl alcohol. these ethers are valued for their emollient, emulsifying, and moisturizing properties, making them useful in various cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE

chemically, polyglyceryl-10 isostearyl ether consists of a polyglycerol backbone with ten glycerin units etherified with isostearyl alcohol. this structure imparts unique moisturizing and solubilizing properties to the compound.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Appearance: generally a clear to pale yellow liquid.
Odor: characteristic mild odor.
Solubility: soluble in oils and various organic solvents; not soluble in water.
Density: varies based on specific formulation and concentration of the ether.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

Preparation of Polyglyceryl-10: glycerin is polymerized to form polyglyceryl-10.
Etherification: polyglyceryl-10 is reacted with isostearyl alcohol under controlled temperature and pressure conditions to form the ether.
Filtration and Purification: the resulting ether is filtered and purified to remove impurities and obtain a high-quality product.
Packaging and Storage: the final product is packaged and stored in a cool, dry place to maintain its properties.

APPLICATIONS

Medical: used in topical formulations for its emollient and moisturizing properties, helping to improve skin health.
Cosmetics: commonly found in creams, lotions, emulsions, and hair care products as an emollient and solubilizer. enhances texture, spreadability, and stability of cosmetic products.
Others: used as a solubilizer and stabilizer in various industrial formulations.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Biodegradability: polyglyceryl-10 isostearyl ether is biodegradable, making it environmentally friendly.
Toxicity: generally considered non-toxic and safe for use in personal care and pharmaceutical products. however, it is essential to ensure that the product is free from contaminants and complies with regulatory standards.
Allergenicity: as with all chemical and natural compounds, individual reactions of intolerance or allergy cannot be excluded.

INCI


Solvent. It is the substance for dissolving or dispersing surfactants, oils, dyes, flavourings, bactericidal preservatives in solution.In fact, it dissolves other components present in a cosmetic formulation. Solvents are generally liquid (aqueous and non-aqueous).

Surfactant - Cleansing agent. Cosmetic products used to cleanse the skin utilise the surface-active action that produces a lowering of the surface tension of the stratum corneum, facilitating the removal of dirt and impurities.
