Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate
Polyglyceryl-4 CaprateBarrier
A plant-derived nonionic emulsifier used to blend oil and water and to help disperse oily ingredients.
What it does
Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate is an ester of glycerin units and capric acid. Its water-loving and oil-loving parts let it mix oil and water, so it is used as a mild, plant-derived emulsifier and to disperse fragrance or oily actives into water bases. It is a formulation ingredient rather than a skin active.
