Hexaglycerol distearate
Description
Hexaglycerol distearate (CAS 34424-97-0 ) is a polyglycerol ester of stearic acid used as an emulsifier and rheology modifier in food and personal care manufacturing. It stabilizes oil-in-water and water-in-oil systems where consistent texture and phase separation resistance are critical purchasing criteria. In food manufacturing, it functions as an emulsifier in fat-based fillings, margarines, and bakery shortenings, improving dough handling and finished product consistency. Personal care formulators incorporate it into creams and lotions to control viscosity and stabilize emulsions. The compound maintains stability across a broad temperature range, making it ideal for global distribution chains. It also serves as a dispersing agent in confectionery coatings, helping to reduce viscosity and improve flow during enrobing operations. In rinse-off and leave-on cosmetic formats, it contributes to sensory profile and emulsion stability without requiring co-emulsifiers. This versatility allows manufacturers to simplify formulations while maintaining high performance standards in diverse product categories. Hexaglycerol distearate is typically supplied as a waxy solid or flake form, suited for melt-and-mix processing in both food and cosmetic production lines. This physical state ensures ease of handling and accurate dosing during the manufacturing process. Food-grade material is available meeting international emulsifier standards relevant to polyglycerol esters. Technical-grade material is also offered for non-food personal care applications where food certification is not a procurement requirement. Our supply chain ensures that the product meets rigorous quality benchmarks for industrial use. Whether for food or cosmetics, this ingredient provides the structural integrity and emulsification properties required for modern commercial formulations.
