About this ingredient
Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate is a nonionic emulsifier based on polyglycerin and myristic acid. INCI: Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate. Its high degree of polyglycerylation makes it readily water-soluble, so it works as a mild emulsifier and solubilizer: it binds oil and water and dissolves oils and fragrance in the water phase. It is a functional component, not a skincare active. Polyglyceryl emulsifiers are valued for their mildness and suit gentle and natural formulas. Pregnancy safety. Systemic absorption through intact skin is low and there is no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation and allergen potential are low, suitable for sensitive skin.
