About this ingredient

Polyglyceryl-6 Behenate is a polyglyceryl ester of behenic acid (a long-chain fatty acid) that functions as an emulsifier and surfactant in cosmetic formulations. It helps stabilize oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, improving product texture and consistency. It also provides mild skin conditioning and occlusive benefits due to its fatty acid component.
