Polyglyceryl-10 Pentaisostearate

Polyglyceryl-10 Pentaisostearate is an ester formed from polyglycerin and isostearic acid. It functions primarily as an emollient, helping to soften and smooth the skin, and as an emulsifier, allowing oil and water to mix in cosmetic formulations. This ingredient contributes to a pleasant skin feel and helps stabilize product textures.
