Description

Polyglyceryl-4 caprylate/caprate is an organic compound of polyglycerin-4 (a component of vegetable oil), mixed with caprylic and capric acids (obtained from coconut/palm). In cosmetics, polyglyceryl-4 caprylate acts as a stabilizer, helping to emulsify various ingredients and improve the texture of the product. It can also act as a solvent and mild, cream-like cleansing agent.
