PolyAquol™-2W is a patented O/W polyglycerol self-emulsifier that is all naturally derived. This natural emulsifier is Ecocert and Cosmos approved. PolyAquol™-2W possesses a wide range of formulation compatibility while providing a unique skin feel to emulsions. On a more functional level, the emulsifier PolyAquol™-2W can generate highly organized liquid crystals important to provide stability to the emulsion and to ensure compatibility with the skin. Clinically, the natural emulsifier PolyAquol™-2W was shown to prevent and repair damage to the skin barrier function caused by UV exposure. Studies conducted on skin microbiota demonstrated that PolyAquol™-2W preserves and restores selectively the cutaneous microflora.
