Cosmetic Grade Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate CAS 51033-35-3
Products Description
- Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate is a synthetic surfactant and emulsifier, mainly used in cosmetics and personal care products. It is an ester compound formed by the reaction of polyglycerol and caprylic acid.
- Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate has good solubility in both oil and water phases. In the oil phase, it can dissolve with many lipid substances such as vegetable oils and mineral oils; in the water phase, it can also form a stable dispersion system with water through its special chemical structure. This amphiphilic (both hydrophilic and lipophilic) characteristic makes it an excellent emulsifier.
- Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate is a versatile emulsifier and surfactant with good lubricity and substantivity. Its wide application in personal care and cosmetics makes it one of the most important ingredients in modern skin care and cleansing formulations. Due to its good skin feel and stability, Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate is often used in high-end skin care and beauty products.
Function
- Emulsifier: Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate can help oil and water mix to form a stable emulsion and is commonly used in skin creams, lotions and cosmetics.
- Surfactants: As surfactants, they reduce the surface tension of liquids, helping to clean and remove dirt, and are suitable for products such as shampoo and shower gel.
- Skin Conditioning Agent: Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate has good skin affinity, can improve the product’s spreadability and usage experience, and provide a smooth and moisturizing effect.
- Mildness: Compared with other surfactants, Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate is less irritating to the skin and is suitable for sensitive skin.
Application
- Cosmetics and Personal Care Products
In skin care products, Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate is widely used in emulsions, creams, facial cleansers and so on. In emulsions and creams, it helps maintain the texture and stability of the products; in facial cleansers, it can help clean grease while making the products have better rinsability. In cosmetics such as foundations and makeup products, it can improve the texture and spreadability of the products, making the makeup look more natural and adherent.
- Food and Pharmaceutical Fields
In the food industry, Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate may be used as an emulsifier in the preparation of some emulsion-like foods, such as the emulsification system of certain beverages or cream products. In the pharmaceutical field, it can be used for emulsification and solubilization of pharmaceutical preparations to improve the stability and bioavailability of drugs.
