PEG-10 Olive Glycerides

PEG-10 Olive Glycerides is a water-soluble ingredient derived from olive oil and polyethylene glycol. It functions primarily as an emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water components in cosmetic formulations. It can also act as a mild surfactant and solubilizer, improving the texture and stability of products.
