MACKESTER® PGLCP 102 is derived from polyglycerin and fatty acid. This compound is 100% bio-based, is biodegradable and has low toxicity. MACKESTER® PGLCP 102 is commonly used as an emulsifier in leave-on cosmetic formulations, having excellent skin-feel properties due to its high substantiality and skin smoothing effect. MACKESTER® PGLCP 102 creates fine, creamy bubbles, especially when combined with anionic surfactants. It is an excellent thickener with good thermostable viscosity. These properties make MACKESTER® PGLCP 102 useful in personal care cleansing formulations.
