POLYGLYCERYL-4 LAURYL ETHER.

Insufficient Data CAS 9022-75-7 / 95012-79-6 / SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

Polyglyceryl-4 Lauryl Ether is a synthetic ingredient primarily functioning as an emulsifier and surfactant, crucial for creating stable, homogenous mixtures of oil and water in skincare formulations. It also enhances product texture by acting as a dispersing agent, stabilizer, and foam booster.

Summary

emulsifying surfactant dispersing stabilizing foam boosting

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient works by significantly reducing the interfacial tension between immiscible oil and water phases. Its molecular structure possesses both lipophilic (oil-attracting) and hydrophilic (water-attracting) regions, allowing it to bridge these components and stabilize emulsions, ensuring a uniform and consistent product texture.
