    Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate CAS 71012-10-7

    Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate CAS 71012-10-7 is a nonionic polyglyceryl ester emulsifier used in cosmetic and personal care formulations. It is commonly selected for cleansing oils, balm cleansers, water-in-oil emulsions, skin care products, and mild formulation systems requiring oil-phase compatibility and smooth skin feel. Glyceryl Monooleate (GMO) is a related oleate emulsifier to compare where a glycerol monoester system is specified instead of a polyglyceryl ester.

    Main Applications

    Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate CAS 71012-10-7 is a nonionic polyglyceryl ester emulsifier used in cosmetic, personal care, and cleansing formulation systems. It is especially useful in formulations where oil compatibility, mild emulsification, smooth skin feel, and stable texture are important.

    In B2B sourcing, Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate is commonly considered for cleansing oils, balm cleansers, makeup removers, water-in-oil emulsions, skin care creams, lotions, massage oils, and selected natural-positioned personal care formulations. The final suitability depends on formulation system, oil phase, HLB requirement, viscosity, active composition, and compatibility with other emulsifiers or surfactants.

    Application AreaBuyer-Relevant Use Direction
    Cleansing Oils and Balm CleansersUsed to support oil-phase emulsification, rinse-off behavior, and smooth cleansing product texture.
    Water-in-Oil EmulsionsSuitable for formulation systems requiring a nonionic emulsifier with good oil compatibility.
    Skin Care Creams and LotionsApplied in selected skin care formulations to improve texture, spreadability, and emulsion stability.
    Makeup RemoversUsed in oil-based or emulsion-based systems where gentle cleansing and oil dispersion are required.
    Personal Care Formulation DevelopmentCan be evaluated with oils, esters, waxes, and co-emulsifiers according to formula design and target sensory profile.

    Product Specifications

    Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate is generally supplied as a viscous liquid or semi-liquid emulsifier material. Appearance may vary from clear to cloudy, light yellow to yellowish, depending on grade, raw material source, and supplier specification. Since commercial polyglyceryl esters may vary in ester distribution and composition, buyers should confirm the current TDS or COA before purchase.

    For cosmetic and personal care procurement, commonly reviewed specification items include appearance, acid value, saponification value, hydroxyl value, iodine value, moisture, color, odor, HLB range, viscosity, and microbial or heavy metal limits where applicable. Exact specification values should be confirmed with the current TDS, COA, or agreed supply standard.

    Packaging and Supply

    Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate CAS 71012-10-7 can be supplied in standard export packaging suitable for cosmetic raw materials and emulsifier ingredients. Depending on viscosity, grade, and order quantity, packaging may include pails, drums, IBC drums, or other suitable industrial packaging.

    For quotation and supply confirmation, buyers are encouraged to provide the intended application, required grade, target specification, order quantity, packaging preference, destination country or port, and document requirements. This helps confirm whether the available grade is suitable for cleansing oils, emulsions, skin care creams, lotions, or other personal care formulations.

    Storage and Handling

    Store Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Protect the product from moisture, contamination, direct sunlight, and excessive heat.

    For viscous liquid grades, avoid prolonged exposure to low temperatures or high temperatures unless otherwise stated in the product TDS. If the product becomes more viscous during storage, handling should follow the supplier’s technical recommendation. Users should review the latest SDS and technical data before formulation testing, storage, transportation, or production use.

    FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

    • Q:

      What is Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate CAS 71012-10-7?

      A: Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate is a nonionic polyglyceryl ester emulsifier formed from oleic acid and tetraglycerol. It is used in cosmetic and personal care formulations to support oil-phase emulsification, mild cleansing, and a smooth skin feel.
    • Q:

      Why is Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate used in cleansing oils and balm cleansers?

      A: It has good compatibility with oils and can help an oil-based cleansing product emulsify on contact with water and rinse away more easily. This makes it useful in cleansing oils, balm cleansers, and makeup removers where effective oil removal and pleasant texture are both important.
    • Q:

      Why are two CAS numbers listed for Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate?

      A: Cosmetic ingredient databases commonly show both 71012-10-7 and 9007-48-1. The 71012-10-7 number identifies the more specific tetraglyceryl monooleate material, while 9007-48-1 can appear as a broader polyglyceryl oleate reference. Buyers should confirm the exact INCI name and grade specification for the material being offered.
    • Q:

      Which specification values are important for cosmetic-grade Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate?

      A: Key values include appearance, acid value, saponification value, hydroxyl value, iodine value, moisture, color, odor, HLB range, and viscosity. These values help confirm the ester composition, stability, and suitability for the target emulsion or cleansing formula.
    • Q:

      What formulation factors determine whether Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate is suitable?

      A: The main factors are the emulsion type, oil phase composition, required HLB, use level, viscosity, and compatibility with co-emulsifiers and surfactants. Formulators should test the complete prototype because the same ingredient can behave differently in water-in-oil and oil-in-water systems.
