Polyglyceryl-4-caprate

Product information "Polyglyceryl-4-caprate"

INCI: Polyglyceryl-4-Caprate/ PG-4-caprate
CAS number: 160391-93-5


This is a palm-free and vegan emulsifier based on rapeseed, castor, coconut and sunflower oil. This is the more polar brother of the polyglyceryl 4-oleate which is used in oil-to-milk waterless cleansers. Because of its higher polarity you need to blend it with PG-4 oleate in oils but you can use it as a standalone emulsifier in cleansing balms and scrubs. The after-rinsing skin feel is much more pleasant compared to the PG-4 oleate because of the higher polarity

Application dosage: 1-10%
