Product Description
Ingredients: Polyglyceryl-2 Caprate
With Polyglyceryl-2 Caprate, the polyglyceryl -2 means 2 x polymer chains of glycerin polymers, this is the water loving part and the glycerin is vegetable derived.
The Caprylate is the fatty ester part which is oil soluble and also sourced from vegetable sources.
Polyglyceryl-2 Caprylate has a HLB somewhere around 8-10 meaning it is more of an emulsifier than a solubiliser. It is particularly useful for turning oils into milks during oil cleansing or adding some surfactancy to an oil blend such as for easy-wash massage oils.
This ingredient also has some activity against microbes being particularly effective on gram positive bacteria. This makes it useful in deodorising products and formulations.
In addition to the above, this ingredient can also modify the feel of a product as it reduces surface tension. This means it can be used to help soften the texture of a balm and give it better spreadability, reduce viscosity and/or create soft, melting textures.
Use Levels: 0.3-5%
Solubility: Oil and Water Dispersible.
