H-6 is an aqueous solution of polyglycerols having an average molecular weight (Mw) equivalent to that of hexaglycerol i.e. approximately 462. This increased molecular weight, over that of the parent glycerol (Mw = 92) and the subsequent branching that results during the condensation process imparts a number of unique and highly beneficial properties to Natrulon™ H-6, properties which translate into improvements in on- skin functionality and formulation aesthetics.
