Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate

Well toleratedEmulsifieremulsifiersolubilisercleansing

No meaningful concern for most people; irritation is possible but rare.

What it is

Built on a ten-unit glycerin chain with a single lauric acid attached, this ester is strongly water-loving and behaves as a mild solubiliser. Formulators use it as a plant-derived alternative to polysorbates in clear toners, essences and gentle cleansing products.

What it does well

  • Solubilises oils and fragrance without PEG chemistry

    It performs a similar job to polysorbate 20 in clear water-based formulas and is accepted by natural-certification schemes.
