Polyglycerin-10

Polyglycerin-10 is a polymer of glycerin, acting as both a humectant and an emulsifier in cosmetic formulations. As a humectant, it helps draw moisture into the skin, contributing to hydration. As an emulsifier, it helps blend oil and water-based ingredients, improving product texture and stability.
