Surfactant ingredient
Polyglyceryl-10 Dilaurate
A diester of polyglyceryl-10 (10 glycerol units) and lauric acid (C12). The high degree of glycerol polymerization (10 units) and the two laurate chains create an HLB suitable for O/W emulsification. A clean-label, plant-derived alternative to PEG emulsifiers, positioned as natural and biodegradable. Distinct from Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate (C14 chains) and Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate (mono-ester).

Benefits
- ✓Very mild, non-ionic O/W emulsifier derived from vegetable glycerin and lauric acid — suitable for sensitive and reactive skin formulas
- ✓Lower irritation potential than PEG-based emulsifiers at equivalent concentrations
- ✓Polyglyceryl-10 backbone provides high hydrophilicity; the two lauroyl chains give balanced emulsification
No known watch-fors.
