Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A tri-ester emulsifier with a glycerol core, three stearic tails, and 10 PEG units — creates stable emulsions and acts as a rich conditioning agent.
PEG-10 glyceryl triisostearate is a partially ethoxylated glycerol triester where the glycerol bears three isostearic acid groups and the equivalent of 10 ethylene oxide units distributed across the structure. This makes it amphiphilic — the PEG segments provide water affinity while the isostearic chains provide oil solubility and skin-conditioning properties. Used as an emulsifier in medium-to-rich emulsions.
