Applications in cosmetic products
The effect of Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate in cosmetic formulations:

its good cleansing properties are used in cleansing products for the scalp and hair such as shampoos or foam baths;
if added to detergents, Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate improves the quality of the foam. Foam generation directly determines the mechanism removing the dirt and impurities from the surface;
Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate is a co-emulsifier for many substances that do not dissolve well in water such as menthol, salicylic acid or essential oils.
Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate helps form an emulsion and keep it stable.

Without emulsifiers, a formula would stratify and oil droplets would float on the water;
Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate is used as an emollient in hair care products.
Products that contain Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate significantly improve the condition of dry skin;
when applied to the skin with creams, it forms a semi-permeable film on its surface, which both protects the skin against external factors and also trap in moisture. Emollients such as
Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate are especially beneficial for people with dry, rough skin and/or flaky skin. The application of emollients helps relieve these symptoms;
in cosmetics, Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate also acts as an emulsifier, where it stabilises the product and helps to emulsify ingredients based on oil and water, ensuring that the mixture is cohesive and homogeneous;
as a surfactant, it helps to remove dirt trapped in oil on the skin, it enhances mixing dirt with water, which could be easily rinsed off. Thus, it leaves the skin refreshed and rejuvenated;
its functions include re-lubrication.
The washing process removes oil/fat substances, therefore we use lubricating substances, which restore the lipid barrier.

Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate is mainly popular in the beauty industry.
Its properties, which are characteristics for most surfactants, are also used in the industry of detergents, especially those for household use.
On that account, you can find Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate among the ingredients of, for example, washing liquids.
The same properties of Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate meet their functions in automotive chemicals.

Application of Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate:

liquid soaps,
body lotions,
shower gels,
after shave and other alcohol preparations,
intimate hygiene lotions and gels,
shampoo,
face cleansers (face gels and foams, washing oils, tonics, micellar liquids),
bath lotions,
creams and balms
sunscreens,
colouring cosmetics,
hair styling preparations,
protective lipstick preparations,
dishwashing liquids,
car chemicals.

Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate are polyethylene glycol ethers of Glyceryl Cocoate.
In cosmetics and personal care products, Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate ingredients are used in the formulation of hair dyes and colors, shampoos, cleaning products, and skin care and bath products.

Use & Benefits of Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate:
Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate apart from providing benefits of individual molecules i.e. PEG, glycerol, and coconut oil, a combination of all these also make it an emollient, surfactant and emulsifier in cosmetic products.
Since glycerol and PEG have the property to attract water molecules and make it available for skin to use.
So, Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate helps dry skin improve considerably by acting as an emollient.
When used in any product and applied on the skin, it forms a semi-permeable film on the skin surface which not only protects the skin from external factors but also preserves moisture.

Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate is also beneficial to skin affected by eczema, psoriasis, and other inflammatory conditions.
As mentioned earlier, when it functions as an emulsifier, it stabilizes the product and inhibits the components to get separated into their oil and water-based components, and rather it provides a consistent and homogenous mixture of ingredients in the product.
As a surfactant, it helps in the removal of dirt trapped in oil present on the skin by helping it to get mixed with water which then can be rinsed off easily.
This way it gives skin a refreshed and rejuvenated look.
Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate is used in formulations of liquid soaps, body washes, facial cleansers, shampoos, and other personal care products.

Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate is a non-ionic surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids and ethylene oxide.
Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate is often used as an emulsifier and solubilizing agent in hair care products such as shampoos, conditioners, and lotions.
One advantage of Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate is that it is a very gentle surfactant, making it suitable for fine or delicate hair.
Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate is known for its moisturizing and softening properties, which help to keep hair soft and hydrated.
Additionally, Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate is water-soluble, making it easily miscible with other ingredients in hair care formulations.
This solubility also makes the surfactant easy to remove from hair during washing, preventing excessive buildup.

This synthetic polymer is based on Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate and fatty acids derived from coconut oil.
Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate acts as a lubricant on the skin's surface, which gives the skin a soft and smooth appearance.

Applications: Universally applicable, especially in liquid soaps, lotions, body washes, shower gels, hair shampoos, facial cleansers, bubble baths, decorative cosmetics.

Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate is mainly used as emulsifying agent.
The efficacy of emulsifying ingredients depends on their ability to reduce surface tension, to form complex films on the surface of emulsified droplets, and to create a repulsive barrier on emulsified droplets to prevent their coalescence.
Moreover Polyethylene Glycol 7 Glyceryl Cocoate is a hydrophilic emollient that is used as a lipid layer enhancer in surfactant cleansing preparations and as a solubility promoter for essential oils and active ingredients.
