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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
