Polyglyceryl-6 Behenate is a nonionic emulsifier based on polyglycerin and behenic acid. INCI: Polyglyceryl-6 Behenate.

It is a functional component, not a skincare active. Polyglyceryl emulsifiers are valued for their mildness and good tolerance. Pregnancy safety. Systemic absorption through intact skin is negligible 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.
