About Polyglyceryl-3 Pentacaprylate/Caprate
Polyglyceryl-3 Pentacaprylate/Caprate is an ester made by combining portions derived from an acid and an alcohol.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities rinse away with water, create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and dissolve other raw materials to create a uniform formula.[1] It is also used to reduce surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[1].
