Polyglyceryl-4 Olivate/Polyricinoleate

What Polyglyceryl-4 Olivate/Polyricinoleate is & what it does

Polyglyceryl-4 Olivate is an emulsifier made from glycerin and olive oil fatty acids. It helps oil and water mix into a stable cream or lotion, and it is often chosen for gentle, plant-derived formulas including sunscreens. It also imparts some emollient slip, contributing to a soft and conditioned skin feel.
