Galeargan WS (water soluble argan oil)

Galeargan is a non-ionic ester and surfactant (tenside, PAS). The ingredient contains all the qualities of argan oil, adapted to be water-soluble. In simple terms, it is argan oil that is soluble in water.

It acts as an emollient and lubricant, excellently nourishes the skin and regulates sebum production. It also functions as a cleanser, as it is a surface-active substance (surfactant). The skin tolerates it very well, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Galeargan is a cosmetic ingredient derived from argan oil and polyglycerin-6, a polymer of natural glycerin. It is used as a natural emulsifier and moisturiser in cosmetic and personal care formulations.

The esterification of argan oil with polyglyceryl-6 produces a mixture of compounds that can be used as emulsifiers, helping to stabilise oil-in-water emulsions. This ingredient is frequently used in natural and organic products as an alternative to synthetic emulsifiers, which can raise potential health and environmental concerns.

Polyglyceryl-6 esters of argan oil also have moisturising properties that can help improve skin hydration, as well as softening and smoothing effects that can enhance skin texture and feel. It is commonly found in a variety of cosmetic and personal care products, including lotions, creams, serums and hair care products.

It is important to note that the recommended usage level of polyglyceryl-6 esters of argan oil in a cosmetic formulation will depend on the specific formula and the intended use of the product. It is always best to consult a qualified formul
