In personal care
An ester formed from polyglycerol-10 (ten linked glycerin units) and stearic acid, a common fatty acid. It belongs to a family of polyglyceryl esters used as gentle emulsifiers.
Why it’s used
Functions as an emulsifier that helps blend oil and water phases, and contributes to a product's texture and skin feel, often valued for being derived from relatively simple, naturally sourced building blocks.
What the evidence says
We haven’t found a source for this one that you can open and check, so we’re not summarizing the evidence.
Look it up yourself
We would rather point you at the shelf than summarize something you can’t check. These are the same places we search:
- PubChem — what the substance is, chemically — names, synonyms and structure
- PubMed — every paper indexed by the US National Library of Medicine that names it
These are starting points, not our findings — we haven’t run them for you. A substance whose name is also an ordinary word (“Heart”, “Alanine”, “Water”) will return papers that are not about the ingredient at all.
Give us a moment — we’re looking into what people say about this. Check back shortly, or sign in and we’ll let you know.
