PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate
What PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate is & what it does
A mild emulsifier and refatting agent that conditions skin and helps disperse oils in water-based formulas. It softens and adds a smooth feel.
What does PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate do in skincare?
PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate is a coconut-derived ingredient that acts as an emollient and a mild surfactant or emulsifier. It helps condition the skin and can keep oil and water phases blended in cleansers, lotions, and sunscreens. It is often valued for adding softness without a heavy feel.
Is PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate natural or synthetic?
PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate starts from coconut-derived glycerides, but the PEG part is added through a process called ethoxylation, making it a partly plant-derived, partly synthetic ingredient. It is best described as naturally sourced and then chemically modified. The exact raw materials can vary by manufacturer.
Does PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate clog pores?
PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate is generally used as a lightweight emollient and emulsifier and is not widely flagged as a strong pore-clogger, though responses differ from person to person. Whether a product breaks you out depends on the whole formula and your skin. Patch testing is wise if you are acne-prone.
