Polyglyceryl-2 Distearate

Polyglyceryl-2 Distearate is an ester derived from glycerin and stearic acid, primarily used as an emulsifier in cosmetic formulations. It helps stabilize and blend oil and water-based ingredients, ensuring even application and improving the texture of the product. While it is not directly beneficial for the skin in terms of treatment, its role in improving the consistency and efficacy of formulations indirectly supports overall skin health.
