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 enhance 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 is used to improve the performance and stability of skincare products.
Emulsifying Agent: Helps blend liquid and oil components, creating stable and uniform formulations in creams and emulsions.
Moisturizing: Enhances the skin's hydration by reducing water loss, leaving it soft and smooth.
Mild Surfactant: Gently cleanses the skin without stripping away natural oils, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.
Improves Penetration: Enhances the delivery of active ingredients into the skin, boosting the efficacy of skincare formulations.
Non-Irritating: Gentle on the skin, making it a safe choice for products designed for sensitive or delicate skin.
How is it used in our products?
Polyglyceryl-3 Caprate is used, for example, in B21 Moroccan Mint Shower Gel and B53 Grapefruit Rose Shower Gel from OLIVEDA. It is included for its ability to create stable and smooth emulsions by ensuring that ingredients are evenly distributed and remain effective throughout the product's shelf life. Its mild and non-irritating nature makes it ideal for sensitive skin.
