HallStar® PG3-S, Polyglyceryl-3 Stearate is a natural polyglyceryl ester made through the esterification reaction between a polymer of glycerin and stearic acid. The hydrophilic triglycerol portion is produced through a chlorine free, high heat distillation process. This results in an oligomeric, or crosslinked hyperbranched triglycerol molecule which is then esterified with stearic acid. HallStar® PG3-S is an off-white solid with a mild odor, is produced using 100% plant based raw materials and uses RSPO Mass Balance Palm.
Polyglyceryl-3 Stearate is a water-In-oil, W/O, emulsifier, solubilizer, skin conditioning agent and non-ionic surfactant with an effective HLB of 9/10. It is PEG, PPG, 1-4 Dioxane free and Chlorine free, non-irritating to skin and shows no sensitizing effects when used in beauty products. HallStar® PG3-S produces highly stable W/O emulsions with oil content <25%. It is also a co-emulsifier in O/W systems. Typical use levels are 1.0% to 6.0% in formulation. It is used in the oil phase with a melting point of about 55 C.
