GLYCERETH-3 SOYATE.

Insufficient Data / SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - FOAM BOOSTING

GLYCERETH-3 SOYATE functions primarily as a cleansing agent and foam-boosting surfactant within skincare formulations. This glycerin- and soybean-derived ingredient may also contribute humectant and conditioning properties through its glycereth component.

Cleansing Agent Surfactant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient primarily acts as a surfactant, effectively facilitating cleansing and enhancing foam generation in topical applications. While specific mechanistic details for GLYCERETH-3 SOYATE are limited, its Glycereth-3 component typically draws and retains moisture, functioning as a humectant and skin conditioning agent, while its soyate derivative aspect may provide solvent properties.

Stability

The optimal pH range for GLYCERETH-3 SOYATE's stability is not explicitly documented. However, related Glycereth ingredients, such as Glycereth-26, demonstrate stability within a pH range of 6.0 - 7.0 in a 5% aqueous solution. Its soyate derivatives are noted for stability and compatibility with various organic solvents.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically reviewed GLYCERETH-3 SOYATE as a combined ingredient. However, its Glycereth-3 component was deemed safe for cosmetic use by CIR in December 2020, provided formulations are non-irritating. Additionally, a 2012 CIR report concluded that a majority of soy-derived ingredients are safe. While certain soyate derivatives like Methyl Soyate are generally not expected to cause skin irritation, they may lead to mild eye irritation. The overall safety rating for GLYCERETH-3 SOYATE by Paula's Choice is 'Not rated', and its irritancy potential for the combined ingredient remains unknown.
