Overview

PEG-6 caprylic/capric glycerides is a multi-functional ingredient that serves as both an emollient and as an emulsifier.

This ingredient is water soluble and produces a soft, silky after-feel when used as an emollient. It is nonionic, meaning it carries no molecular charge, and it is compatible with charged surfactants, such as betaines or sulfates.

PEG-6 caprylic/capric glycerides is often found in cleansing products, like cream shampoos or face washes, where it serves as a refatting agent. This ingredient can also work as an emulsifier for oil-in-water emulsions, including lotions and creams.
