Information
Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate is a plant-based, multifunctional emulsifier used in skincare formulations. It is a polymer composed of glycerin and ricinoleic acid, which is derived from castor oil. This mild ingredient is known for its ability to stabilize oil and liquid emulsions, making it an essential component in creating smooth, stable, and texture-rich skincare products.
Where does it come from?
Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate is derived from natural sources, specifically from castor oil. Castor oil, extracted from the seeds of the castor plant (Ricinus communis), is rich in ricinoleic acid. Through a process called esterification, ricinoleic acid is combined with polyglycerol (a polymer of glycerin) to produce Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate. This ingredient is considered eco-friendly and sustainable due to its plant-based origins.
Emulsification: As an emulsifier, it helps to blend oil and liquid ingredients in a formulation, ensuring a stable and uniform product that does not separate over time.
Mildness: This ingredient is gentle on the skin, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. It helps to create products that are less likely to cause irritation or discomfort.
Improved Texture: Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate enhances the texture of skincare products, giving them a smooth, silky feel that is easy to apply and spread on the skin.
Moisturization: It helps to maintain the skin's moisture balance by preventing dryness, contributing to a hydrated and supple complexion.
Sustainability: Being plant-based and biodegradable, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate is an environmentally friendly ingredient that aligns with the growing demand for sustainable skincare products.
