It can be used in skin care emulsions, where it delivers emolliency from the water phase upon contact. In hair treatments, its large, branched polymer structure adds body and manageability. Hydramol™ PGDS ester can replace alkanolamides in cleansing systems, providing conditioning, emolliency, viscosity building, and enhanced lather. It is recommended for use in cleansing systems, including hand sanitizer gels, as well as antiperspirant and deodorant applications.
