Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate

Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate is a polyglycerol ester derived from castor oil's ricinoleic acid, creating a low-HLB lipophilic emulsifier particularly valued for water-in-oil formulations. Its unique molecular structure provides exceptional wetting and dispersing properties for inorganic pigments and UV filters like zinc oxide, preventing agglomeration and improving SPF performance in sunscreens. Formulators favor it for creating stable, natural-feeling mineral makeup and sunscreen products, as it enables high pigment loading while maintaining smooth texture and even coverage without the heavy feel of traditional dispersants.
