About PEG-78 Glyceryl Cocoate

PEG-78 Glyceryl Cocoate is a polyethylene glycol ether of glyceryl cocoate.[1] The number 78 indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units; with the same base structure, changing this number may also change water miscibility and the formula’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
