About PEG-6 Glyceryl Caprate
PEG-6 Glyceryl Caprate is the polyethylene glycol ether of glyceryl caprate.[1] The number 6 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units; for the same base structure, changing this number may affect water miscibility and the formula’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction between the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, and to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed.[2]
