About MACADAMIA SEED OIL POLYGLYCERYL-6 ESTERS BEHENATE

A macadamia-derived emollient and mild cleanser — it combines the nourishing properties of macadamia oil with a gentle polyglycerol ester base for soft, conditioned skin.

Detailed Analysis

Macadamia Seed Oil Polyglyceryl-6 Esters Behenate is the behenic acid ester of the transesterification product of macadamia seed oil and polyglycerin-6. This creates a complex ester with emollient, skin-conditioning, and mild cleansing properties. The macadamia oil component is rich in palmitoleic acid (~20%), which closely matches human sebum composition, enhancing biocompatibility. Polyglyceryl esters are recognized as gentle emulsifiers. No GHS hazard classifications or EU restrictions apply.
