Information

Polyglyceryl-6 distearate is a plant-derived, non-ionic emulsifier commonly used in skincare to blend water and oil-based ingredients. It is part of the polyglyceryl ester family and is known for creating stable, smooth emulsions with a lightweight skin feel.

Where does it come from?

This ingredient is derived from stearic acid (a fatty acid from vegetable oils like palm or coconut) and polyglycerin, which is made from glycerin — a compound sourced from plant oils. The result is a biodegradable, mild emulsifier suitable for natural cosmetic formulations.

What are the benefits?

GENTLE MOSITURIZING BIODEGRABABLE

What are the benefits?

  • Natural emulsifier: Can blend and stabilize oil and water-based ingredients.
  • Lightweight texture: Contributes to a smooth, non-greasy skin feel.
  • Mild and gentle: Suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types.
  • Biodegradable and eco-friendly: Ideal for clean beauty and natural formulations.
  • Moisturizing support: Helps lock in hydration by contributing to product spread and absorption.

How is it used in our products?

Polyglyceryl-6 distearate is used in F91 Corrective Cleansing Balm from OLIVEDA.  It is included as a plant-friendly emulsifier, keeping the liquids and oils blended. It contributes to product stability and skin feel, creating a smooth, velvety texture. In addition to emulsifying, it works as a moisturizing agent by forming a breathable layer that locks in moisture without feeling greasy.
