PEG 7 GLYCEROL COCOATE

About PEG 7 GLYCEROL COCOATE

PEG-7 Glycerol Cocoate is a non-ionic surfactant and emollient derived from coconut fatty acids and glycerol that has been ethoxylated to improve water solubility. It appears as a clear to slightly yellow liquid with a light, non-greasy texture and is widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations for its gentle cleansing and skin-conditioning properties.

It works by reducing the harshness of primary surfactants, making cleansing products milder and more skin-friendly. It is commonly used in shampoos, facial cleansers, body washes, micellar waters, and baby care products where mildness is important. This ingredient also helps improve foam quality and enhances the overall sensory feel of formulations, giving a soft and smooth after-feel on skin and hair.

PEG-7 Glycerol Cocoate additionally acts as a refatting agent, helping to replenish lipids that may be removed during cleansing, thereby preventing dryness and maintaining skin comfort. It is well tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin, and is valued for its multifunctional role in modern cosmetic formulations.
