Overview
Polyglyceryl-4 caprate is a PEG-free nonionic surfactant. This ingredient is commonly used as an emollient in various skincare products – particularly in rinse-off products, such as face washes.
In addition, polyglyceryl-4 caprate can be used as an emulsifier to support the formation of oil-in-water emulsions. This type of emulsion tends to produce lightweight creams and lotions.
Polyglyceryl-4 caprate is a highly viscous liquid that can serve as a solubilizer, in which it allows small amounts of oils to be dissolved into water while maintaining a clear solution. Often, these oils are fragrances or essential oils.
