PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, 1 kg

A Coconut-Derived Solubilizer That Keeps Foaming Formulas Clear and Mild

PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate is a nonionic ingredient derived from coconut oil and polyethylene glycol that works simultaneously as a mild emulsifier, solubilizer and foam stabilizer. It belongs to the broad category of Surfactants and its real-world demand comes mostly from industrial and studio manufacturing of personal care and household products rather than from hobby soap making. Formulators rely on it heavily in shampoos, shower gels, facial cleansers, micellar waters and even in industrial degreasers and textile auxiliary blends where a gentle, low-irritation surfactant is needed.

One of its most valuable functions is solubilizing fragrance oils, essential oils and other oil-soluble additives directly into a water-based system without clouding the final product. This makes it a go-to ingredient for clear micellar waters, toning lotions and transparent gel formulas across the personal care industry. In the household chemistry sector it is used to boost foam density and improve mildness in dish soaps, hand cleaning gels and light degreasing products where skin contact is frequent.

The ingredient blends smoothly with anionic and other nonionic surfactants, amplifying their foam and thickening behavior. In shampoo and body wash formulations it is frequently paired with a mild anionic base such as Ressasol VPF for primary cleansing and foam, combined with Cocamide MEA for foam stabilization and viscosity build. For palm kernel based systems, pairing it with RESASSOL AGP gives a balanced, skin-friendly cleansing base suitable for daily-use products.

Typical usage levels sit between 1 and 5 percent in finished cleansing products, while as a solubilizer for oil-soluble additives the concentration can go up to 8-10 percent. It should be added during the cooling phase once the batch temperature drops below 40-45 degrees Celsius to prevent thermal degradation and preserve its solubilizing performance. The material remains stable across a wide pH range, which simplifies process control on industrial filling lines. The 1 kg pack size fits studio and small-batch manufacturing of trial formulations well, and it also serves as a practical volume for pilot industrial runs before scaling up to bulk production.

Store the raw material in a tightly sealed container, in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight, at temperatures between 5 and 25 degrees Celsius. Under these conditions the ingredient keeps its functional properties over a long shelf period, which supports building a stable inventory for regular manufacturing supply.

Clarifying Facial Cleansing Gel Base

Distilled water 680 ml

PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate 45 g

Ressasol VPF 55 g

Cocamide MEA 25 g

Aloe vera extract 25 g

Citric acid to adjust acidity 3 g

Fragrance oil 4 g

Pour the water into the main mixing vessel and slowly add Ressasol VPF, stirring gently until fully dissolved without generating excess foam. Add PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate together with Cocamide MEA and continue mixing until the blend turns smooth and uniform. Finally stir in the aloe vera extract and fragrance oil, adjust the acidity with citric acid to a comfortable level for facial skin, then transfer the finished gel into dispensing bottles.
