Product Description
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 Area | Buyer-Relevant Use Direction |
|---|---|
| Cleansing Oils and Balm Cleansers | Used to support oil-phase emulsification, rinse-off behavior, and smooth cleansing product texture. |
| Water-in-Oil Emulsions | Suitable for formulation systems requiring a nonionic emulsifier with good oil compatibility. |
| Skin Care Creams and Lotions | Applied in selected skin care formulations to improve texture, spreadability, and emulsion stability. |
| Makeup Removers | Used in oil-based or emulsion-based systems where gentle cleansing and oil dispersion are required. |
| Personal Care Formulation Development | Can 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.
