FUNCTION(S) of GLYCERETH-2 COCOATE IN COSMETIC PRODUCTS
SURFACTANT - CLEANSING
Surface-active agent to clean skin, hair and / or teeth

SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING
Glycereth-2 Cocoate allows the formation of finely dispersed mixtures of oil and water (emulsions)

FUNCTIONS of GLYCERETH-2 COCOATE:
Cleansing Agent,
Emulsifier
Surfactant,
Stabilizer

FEATURE of GLYCERETH-2 COCOATE:
Good compatibility with cationic, nonionic and anionic surfactants and is stable in a wide pH range.

WHAT GLYCERETH-2 COCOATE IS FOR AND WHERE:
*Cosmetics
Glycereth-2 Cocoate is a non-ionic surfactant, an ester of Polyoxyethylene Glycerol and is used by the cosmetics industry as
*emollient
*thickener
*foaming
*emulsifier

FUNCTIONS of GLYCERETH-2 COCOATE:
*Surfactant - Cleansing agent.
Cosmetic products used to cleanse the skin utilise the surface-active action that produces a lowering of the surface tension of the stratum corneum, facilitating the removal of dirt and impurities.

*Surfactant - Emulsifying agent.
Emulsions are thermodynamically unstable and are used to soothe or soften the skin and emulsify, so they need a specific, stabilising ingredient.
Glycereth-2 Cocoate forms a film, lowers the surface tension and makes two immiscible liquids miscible.

A very important factor affecting the stability of the emulsion is the amount of the emulsifying agent.
Emulsifiers have the property of reducing the oil/water or water/oil interfacial tension, improving the stability of the emulsion and also directly influencing the stability, sensory properties and surface tension of sunscreens by modulating the filmometric performance.
