Information

Polyglyceryl-3 Caprate is a plant-based emulsifier and surfactant used in skincare and cosmetic formulations. It is derived from capric acid, a fatty acid found in natural oils, and polyglycerin. Known for its ability to stabilize emulsions and contribute to the penetration of active ingredients, Polyglyceryl-3 Caprate is a versatile ingredient that provides both moisturizing and cleansing benefits.

Where does it come from?

Polyglyceryl-3 Caprate is synthesized from capric acid, which is commonly extracted from natural sources like coconut oil and palm kernel oil, and polyglycerin, which is obtained from vegetable glycerin. The combination of these components creates a mild and skin-friendly ingredient that can contribute to the performance and stability of skincare products.

What are the benefits?

What are the benefits?

  • Emulsifying Agent: Can blend liquid and oil components, creating stable and uniform formulations in creams and emulsions.
  • Moisturizing: Contributes to the skin's hydration by locking in moisture, leaving it soft and smooth.
  • Mild Surfactant: Gently cleanses the skin without stripping away natural oils, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.
  • Penetration: Contributes to the penetration of active ingredients into the skin, promoting the efficacy of skincare formulations.
  • Non-Irritating: Gentle on the skin, making it a safe choice for products designed for sensitive or delicate skin.
