What is PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides and how is it identified?

PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides is an ethoxylated mixed glyceride with CAS 127281-18-9. In cosmetics it is listed under the INCI name PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides and functions as a hydrophilic emollient ester and mild nonionic surfactant.

What is PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides used for?

It is used as a water-soluble emollient, skin conditioner, solubilizer, co-emulsifier and mild surfactant. Common applications include micellar water, makeup remover, cleansers, shower gels, shampoos, lotions and O/W emulsions.

Why is PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides described as water-soluble?

The PEG modification gives the caprylic/capric glyceride enough hydrophilic character to dissolve or disperse in aqueous and water-alcohol systems. This supports solubilizing oils, fragrances and active ingredients in clear or low-oil cosmetic formulas.

Which specifications should be confirmed when purchasing PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides?

Confirm appearance, color, odor, acid value, saponification value, water content, pH and ethoxylation distribution. For personal-care use, also check that the grade meets the intended cosmetic purity and residual impurity requirements for the formulation.

How should PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides be stored and handled?

Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from strong oxidizers and direct sunlight. Avoid excessive heat or freezing, and follow normal cosmetic-manufacturing hygiene and personal protective equipment practices.

Product Description

PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, CAS 127281-18-9, is an ethoxylated mixed glyceride listed under the INCI name PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides; it is a cosmetic-grade raw material.

Synonyms: Glycerides C8-10 ethoxylated; Macrogol 6 glycerol caprylocaprate; PEG-6 CCG; Ethoxylated caprylic/capric glycerides.

CAS: 127281-18-9.

It is a water-soluble, hydrophilic emollient ester and mild nonionic surfactant.

As a PEG-modified glyceride it solubilizes oils, fragrances and active ingredients in aqueous and water-alcohol systems, and acts as a co-emulsifier and superfatting agent with an HLB value around 19.

It is widely used in personal-care and cleansing products, including micellar water, makeup remover, facial cleansers, shower gels, shampoos and lotions.

It is also used as a solubilizer and co-emulsifier for base oils and fragrances in O/W emulsions and cream formulations, and as a water-soluble carrier in rinse-off products.

Confirm appearance, color, odor, acid value, saponification value, water content, pH and ethoxylation distribution; for personal-care use, verify cosmetic purity and residual impurity limits.

Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from strong oxidizers and direct sunlight, and avoid excessive heat or freezing.
