why we use polyglyceryl-2 sesquicaprylate
The Basics
Polyglyceryl-2 Sesquicaprylate is a non-ionic emulsifier utilised in cosmetic formulations to blend oil and water phases, creating stable emulsions. Its hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of approximately 8 makes it particularly effective in oil-based facial cleansers, especially those designed for use under wet conditions.
This ingredient is valued for its ability to maintain emulsion stability, ensuring consistent texture and performance in skincare products. Its mild nature makes it suitable for formulations aimed at sensitive skin, contributing to the overall efficacy and sensory experience of the product.
