Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate is a 100% biodegradable natural ester derived from rapeseed and palm oils. It is a clear liquid that shares properties with jojoba oil. This PEG-free refatting agent is commonly used in liquid soaps, body washes, and bath oils to help dissolve small amounts of oil in water-based or toner-like formulas. It acts as an emollient, conditioning and moisturizing the skin. Additionally, Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate is often utilized as a co-emulsifier in OW emulsions. It is effective in rinse-off oil makeup removers, easily rinsing off without leaving an oily residue. This ingredient also possesses mild antimicrobial and deodorizing properties. In shampoos and shower gels, it can increase viscosity and is compatible with most cosmetic ingredients.
