Company information

Polyglycerol-3, often referred to as **PG-3**, is a synthetic polymer made by linking three glycerol molecules. Glycerol, or glycerin, is a naturally occurring compound commonly found in fats and oils. In polyglycerol-3, multiple glycerol molecules are linked through ether bonds to form a small polymer chain. ### Key Uses of Polyglycerol-3: 1. **Emulsifier**: It helps stabilize mixtures of oil and water in formulations, preventing them from separating. It is commonly used in food, cosmetics, and personal care products. 2. **Surfactant**: It can reduce surface tension in liquids, making it useful for improving the texture and consistency of formulations. 3. **Skin Conditioning Agent**: In cosmetics and skincare, it acts as a humectant, drawing moisture to the skin and enhancing hydration. Polyglycerol-3 is generally considered safe for use in products but should be used within regulated limits to ensure no adverse effects, particularly for sensitive skin or ingestion contexts.
