Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate is an ester of myristic acid with polyglycerol that contains ten glycerin units, a light yellow to brown past. The molecule combines hydrophilic and lipophilic parts and acts as a potent solubilizer and emulsifier with an HLB value of 16.7.
Derived from natural raw materials, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate is used to emulsify essential oils and lipophilic perfume in water-based applications. It enables good adsorption of active ingredients in the formulation while improving the sensory profile, providing a pleasant texture, and excellent after-feel on the skin.
Incorporated in skin care applications, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate provides long-lasting skin hydration and softness. It is eco-friendly, radially biodegradable, and stable in product—a perfect natural alternative for polyethylene glycols (PEGs).
