PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate For Cosmetics

What is PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate For Cosmetics ? 

PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate is a multifunctional ingredient commonly used in cosmetics, primarily serving as a non-ionic surfactant and emollient. It is an ester derived from coconut oil fatty acids (Cocoate) and glycerin (Glyceryl), which has undergone ethoxylation (PEG-7).

Its key physical properties include:

• Appearance: Typically a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid.

• Solubility: Has good water solubility and is also soluble in various organic solvents like alcohol.

• HLB Value: Its Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance (HLB) value is approximately 10-11, making it very suitable for formulating oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions.

Applications:

PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate plays several important roles in cosmetic formulations. Its main efficacies and functions are summarized in the table below:

Efficacy & Function	Specific Description
🧴 Emulsifying Action	Stabilizes mixtures of oil and water phases, preventing separation. Helps form stable oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, which typically have a lighter texture.
💆 Emolliency & Reduced Irritation	In cleansing products (e.g., shampoos, body washes), it replenishes lipids stripped from the skin and hair during washing. Reduces the dryness and tightness caused by surfactants, resulting in a softer, smoother feel. It can also help lower the irritancy of surfactant systems.
🔍 Solubilizing Action	Effectively dissolves and stabilizes fragrances, essential oils, or certain oil-soluble active ingredients in aqueous formulations. Helps maintain the clarity and stability of the formula.
✨ Improves Foam & Skin Feel	Has minimal impact on system foam; some sources mention it can even provide good foam quality. Imparts a smooth skin feel to the product.

Fuctions:

• Cleansing Products: Extensively used in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and hand soaps to reduce irritancy, improve post-wash skin feel, and impart softness and smoothness to skin and hair.

• Lotions & Creams: Used as a co-emulsifier and solubilizer in O/W lotions and creams to help stabilize the system and solubilize oil-soluble components.

• Transparent Products: Also suitable for some transparent surfactant systems or clear products due to its water solubility and ability to provide clarity.
