GLYCERETH-6 COCOATE

Glycereth-6 cocoate is a polyethylene glycol ether of Glycerin (q.v.) with an average ethoxylationvalue of 6.
Glycereth-6 cocoate are polyethylene glycol ethers of Glyceryl Cocoate. 
In cosmetics and personal care products, PEG Glyceryl Cocoate ingredients are used in the formulation of hair dyes and colors, shampoos, cleaning products, and skin care and bath products.

Glycereth-6 cocoate acts as a water-soluble emollient prepared from glyceryl cocoate derivatized coconut oil. 
Compatible with other ionic species in a formulation. 
Glycereth-6 cocoate is therefore used in personal care as well as as a very low irritation secondary surfactant with a moisturizing effect, as an emulsifying agent with an HLB of 10 to 10 with lubricating properties.

Glycereth-6 cocoate provides the slippery feature in the materials it is used in. Ideal for hair care and with its dissolving and emulsifying properties, it is suitable for use in bath products. Glycereth-6 cocoate is also an ideal emulsifying agent, softener and solvent material, a multifunctional substance. Glycereth-6 cocoate is of natural origin because it is a substance obtained from coconut oil and glycerin.

Glycereth-6 cocoate is a nonionic, ethoxylated polyethylene glycol ester made from glycerin and coconut oil. It is a clear oily liquid and has a characteristic odour. Glycereth-6 cocoate is soluble in water and alcohol, insoluble in oils. HLB value, 11 (giving water-in-oil emulsions).

Glycereth-6 cocoate allows surfactants to attract and suspend oils, dirt and other impurities that have accumulated in the skin and wash them away. 
Because of these properties, Glycereth-6 cocoate can be found in many different cleansers, shampoos and body washes. 
As an emulsifier, Glycereth-6 cocoate is often used in formulations containing both water and oil components. 

Mixing Glycereth-6 cocoate, water and oil together creates a dispersion of oil droplets in the water (and vice versa). 
However, these two stages can be separated if the product is left to settle. 

To solve this problem, an emulsifier such as Glycereth-6 cocoate can be added to the system to help keep the droplets dispersed. 
Emulsifiers improve the consistency of a product, ensuring an even distribution of topical skin care benefits.

Glycereth-6 cocoate is a polyethylene glycol (PEG) ether of glyceryl cocoate. 

Glyceryl cocoate is a monoester of glycerin and coconut fatty acids, which are both very beneficial to the skin. 
Glycerin, also referred to as glycerol, is a natural alcohol and humectant that helps the skin to retain moisture. 
Coconut fatty acids restore the skin`s lipid barrier, which also improves the skin`s moisture retention.

Glycereth-6 cocoate is produced by the ethoxylation of glyceryl cocoate. 
Ethoxylation is a chemical reaction in which ethylene oxide is added to asubstrate. 
In this case, 7 units of ethylene oxide are added to glyceryl cocoate. 

In cosmetics and personal care products, Glycereth-6 cocoate functions as an emollient, surfactant, and emulsifier for oil-in-water emulsions. 
As an emollient, Glycereth-6 cocoate provides a lightweight and non-greasy barrier of lubrication that helps to increase moisture retention at the skin`s surface. 
This property makes Glycereth-6 cocoate very useful for products such as lotions, creams, and facial moisturizers. 

While all skin types can benefit from emollients like Glycereth-6 cocoate, emollients are especially helpful for those who have dry, rough, and/or flaky skin.
Emollients can alleviate these symptoms, leaving the skin looking and feeling soft and smooth. 
In addition, emollients can benefit those that suffer from conditionssuch as eczema, psoriasis, or other inflammatory skin conditions.

Glycereth-6 cocoate also functions as a surfactant because Glycereth-6 cocoate contains one end that is hydrophilic (attracted to water) and one end that is lipophilic (attracted to oil). 
Surfactants work by lowering the surface tension between two substances, such as two liquids or a liquid and a solid. 
Glycereth-6 cocoate allows surfactants to attract and suspends oils, dirt, and other impurities that have accumulated on the skin and wash them away. 

Due to these properties, Glycereth-6 cocoate can be found in many different cleansers, shampoos, and body washes. 
As an emulsifier, Glycereth-6 cocoate is often used in formulations that contain both water and oil components. 
Mixing water and oil together creates a dispersion of oil droplets in water (and vice versa). 

However, these two phases can separate if the product is left to settle. 
To address this problem, an emulsifier like Glycereth-6 cocoate can be added to the system to help the droplets remain dispersed.
Emulsifiers improve the consistency of a product, which enables an even distribution of topical skin care benefits.

Glycereth-6 cocoate is used to form oil-in-water emulsions. 
The safety of the Glycereth-6 cocoate ingredients, including Glycereth-6 cocoate, has been assessed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel. 
The Panel evaluated the scientific data and concluded that these ingredients were safe for use in rinse-off products and safe up to 10% in leave-on products. 

Despite the approval of Glycereth-6 cocoate by the CIR Expert Panel, there are concerns about the presence of ethylene oxide in this ingredient. 
This is because the process of ethoxylation may lead to contamination with 1,4-dioxane, a potentially dangerous by-product. 

Glycereth-6 cocoate is a known animal carcinogen that penetrates readily into the skin. 
According to the National Toxicology Program, "1,4-dioxane is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen." 

Glycereth-6 cocoate has also been linked with skin allergies. 
However, the potential presence of 1,4-dioxane can be controlled through purification steps to remove it before blending Glycereth-6 cocoate into cosmetic formulations.
