Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is a common ingredient used in the personal care and cosmetic industry as an emulsifier and surfactant, and it appears to be a yellowish to amber-colored liquid. It is an ester of lauric acid and polyglycerin-10, which is derived from the polymerization of glycerin. Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate helps to stabilize oil and water mixtures, allowing for the creation of stable emulsions. This ingredient also enhances the spreadability and texture of products, improving their overall sensory attributes. Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is often found in various skincare products, such as cleansers, creams, lotions, and makeup removers.
| [Uses]
Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is used as an emulsifier, mild cleanser, and skin conditioning agent. As an emulsifier, it gives stability to the oil and water-based products. The product with oil and water-based components gets separated into its components; when an emulsifier is used, it stabilizes the product, prevents separation of the components, and enables even distribution of the product components into each other. It also helps to solubilize small amounts of oil in water. It is a non-ionic surfactant that solubilizes dirt and other particles on the skin with oil, which gets washed off easily with water. It is also known to enhance the skin's water retention capacity; thanks to glycerin's chemical nature, it can attract water molecules. It helps dry skin and makes it appear soft and smooth. It is used in formulations of creams, lotions, gels, shampoos, conditioners, and other makeup products. | [Safety]
Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is a non-toxic ingredient and is considered safe for cosmetics and personal care use. It is also non-comedogenic, meaning it has a low likelihood of clogging pores and causing acne. Further, Polyglyceryl-10 laureate is vegan-friendly, as it is derived from plant-based sources and does not involve animal-derived ingredients. However, individual sensitivities can vary, so it is always advisable to patch-test products and consult a dermatologist if any specific concerns or side effects arise.
