About Glycereth-2 Cocoate

Glycereth-2 Cocoate is the ester of coconut acid and the polyethylene glycol ether of glycerin containing an average of 2 moles of ethylene oxide.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed and to lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
