What it does
Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate is an ester of glycerin units and caprylic acid. Its water-loving and oil-loving parts let it gently lift away oils and dissolve oily ingredients into water bases, so it is used as a mild cleansing and solubilizing agent. It is a formulation ingredient rather than a skin active.
