Details
A water-loving emollient that is used as a solubilizer in water-based, toner-like formulas. Solubilizers are handy helper ingredients to dissolve small amounts of oil-loving materials (such as essential oils or fragrances) into watery liquids. Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate also has some emollient properties, making the skin feel nice and smooth.

Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate
Scientific description
An ester of oleic acid and polyglycerin-4
What is it
Helps keep all the other ingredients together
Detailed description
Polyglyceryl 4 Caprate is a glycerol derivative and is used in cosmetics as an emulsifying agent. It helps other chemicals to penetrate deeper into the skin and reduces the surface tension of cosmetics. It is organically sourced and valid as a skincare product. This ingredient could be found in products like micellar water, fabric mask, face lotion and toner, shower gel, shampoo, BB cream, baby lotion.

Countries of origin
Global
An ester of Capric Acid and Polyglycerin-4 and a natural emulsifier and solublizer. Polyglyceryl-4 is a skin conditioning agent that has a positive influence on skin structure.
Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate is a PEG free and Ecocert approved hydrophilic emollient; it is a surfactant and superfat for detergents and has emulsifying and solubilizing properties.
Property
Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate is a hydrophilic surfactant belonging to the polyglyceryl family. It does not irritate the skin, is nitrogen-free, therefore it does not contribute to the formation of nitrosamines and has a wide range of cosmetic applications:
solubilizers against small percentages of essential oils or lipophilic substances
secondary surfactant and superfat in detergents and make-up removers
emulsifier in self-emulsifying oily formulations, for example concentrated bath oils that emulsify spontaneously when added to water or anhydrous make-up remover oils
primary hydrophilic emulsifier, coupled with a small percentage of a lipophilic emulsifier to lower HLB, to produce cold O / W emulsions
Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate is non-degreasing and is well tolerated by the skin, even the sensitive one.
Uses
Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate can be placed in:
cleansing and make-up remover products: shower gel, shampoo, cleansing milks, micellar waters and baby products
tonics as a solubilizer
self-emulsifying cleaning products
cold O / W emulsions (coupled with a lipophilic emulsifier)
How to use
Recommended use percentage:
up to 5% as a secondary surfactant and superfat
around 2% as a hydrophilic emulsifier (usually at 20% of the fat phase and in a 1: 4 ratio with the lipophilic emulsifier)
indicatively in a 1: 5 ratio with the substance to be solubilized if used as a solubilizer
About 1.5% in micellar waters
around 15% in self-emulsifying anhydrous cleansing products such as bath oils and make-up remover oils
Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate is soluble in water, alcohol and glycols
storage
Store in a cool and dry place, away from sources of light and heat.
