Polyglyceryl-6 Oleate (Non-Ionic Emulsifier)

Polyglyceryl-6 Oleate is a plant-derived, non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer formed from polyglycerin and oleic acid, widely used to help blend oils and water into stable, elegant textures. In cosmetic formulations, it supports skin-conditioning performance by enhancing spreadability, improving slip, and contributing to a soft, nourishing after-feel without a heavy or waxy finish. It is particularly valued for creating gentle cleansing systems and oil-to-milk transformations, where it helps disperse sebum and makeup while maintaining a comfortable skin feel. Compatible with many “PEG-free” and naturally positioned concepts, Polyglyceryl-6 Oleate is commonly used in cleansing oils, balm-to-milk cleansers, micellar and makeup-removing products, emulsified body oils, and lightweight lotions, typically at low to moderate use levels and often paired with other emulsifiers to optimize stability, clarity, and sensory profile.
