Product description

Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is a 100% natural, PEG-free solubilizer, co-emulsifier and co-tenside. It is produced by esterification of polyglycerin with lauric acid from coconut. This process is one of the principles of green chemistry. The product is COSMOS certifiable and approved for use in natural cosmetics.

Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is used to solubilize perfumes, essential oils and lipophilic actives into clear or slightly milky aqueous solutions. In lower doses, it acts as a co-emulsifier for lightweight O/W emulsions and also improves the tolerance of tenside systems in shower gels or shampoos, reducing irritation and imparting a soft feel on the skin.

Key benefits:

• Natural, PEG-free solubilizer for perfumes and essential oils
• Option to achieve clear or transparent solutions
• Co-emulsifier and co-tenside - improves the stability of emulsions and reduces irritation
• Creates low viscosity emulsions, also suitable for sprays and tonics
• Gentle, non-sticky and non-greasy feeling on the skin
• Globally approved, COSMOS approved, 100% natural origin

Suitable for products such as:

• Micellar waters, toners, facial mists
• Shampoos and shower gels (as a co-tenside to reduce irritation)
• Light skin and body emulsions (sprayable lotions, roll-on products)
• Sunscreen products where solubilization of oil actives is required

Use in formulation:

• Solubility: in water; used for clear solubilization of oil-based actives
• Recommended dosage
  • Solubilizer
    • oil : solubilizer ≈ 1:4 - 1:10 (often with ~15% ethanol for clarity)
    • oil : solubilizer ≈ 1:8 - 1:15 (usually without ethanol)
  • Co-emulsifier: 1,5 - 3 %
  • Co-tenside: 1 - 30 % depending on product type
• Phase inclusion: first mix solubilizer with oil, then add aqueous phase; for emulsions, add to aqueous phase before homogenization
• pH compatibility: stable over a wide range, resistant to salts and acidic environments
• Thermal stability: handles cold or with moderate heating; may require moderate heating for easier handling

Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is a natural, multifunctional and highly effective solubilizer that brings transparency, stability and delicate sensory to modern, PEG-free formulations.

Raw material safety grade according to EWG: 1 (low risk, safe even for sensitive skin)

FAQ

How to achieve a clear solution with essential oil?
The recommended oil : solubilizer ratio is 1:4 - 1:6 (with ~15% ethanol for clarity).

Can I use Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate as a co-emulsifier?
Yes, at 1.5 - 3% it is added to the aqueous phase prior to homogenization and allows the formation of light, low viscosity emulsions.

Does it reduce the irritation of tensides?
Yes, as a co-emulsifier in shower gels or shampoos, it helps to reduce the irritating effect of stronger tensides and improves the feel on the skin.
