PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate 100 g

Getting Fragrance Oils to Dissolve Clearly in Water-Based Formulas

PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate is a gentle, coconut-derived nonionic ingredient that solves one of the most common headaches in cosmetic chemistry: blending an oil phase into a water phase without leaving a film or greasy feel on the skin. It belongs to the Emulsifiers category, where it stands out specifically as a solubilizer capable of turning cloudy oil-and-water mixtures into clear, stable solutions. This is exactly why formulators of micellar water, facial toners, body sprays, and cleansing foams reach for it so often.

The main industry driving demand for this ingredient is skincare and personal cleansing products. It appears in shampoos, intimate hygiene washes, baby care lines, and liquid soaps thanks to its mild profile and its ability to help stabilize foam. In household chemicals, it is used to dissolve fragrance oils in dish soaps and multi-surface cleaning sprays, keeping the solution from turning hazy. In perfumery, it plays an important role in alcohol-free body mists and linen sprays, letting formulators load a meaningful amount of essential oil into a purely aqueous base.

Working with this ingredient is straightforward: add it to a cold or slightly warmed water phase, keeping the temperature below roughly 40-45 degrees Celsius to preserve its solubilizing action. Typical usage rates run from 1 to 5 percent of the total batch weight, depending on how much oil or fragrance needs to be dissolved, and formulators often work with a ratio of about 2:1 or 3:1 relative to the oil being solubilized. It pairs well with thickeners such as Aristoflex AVC, which builds body into the finished product without clouding the clear solution.

In thicker emulsion systems, where a cream or lotion with real body is the goal, this solubilizer is frequently combined with classic oil-in-water emulsifiers like Glyceryl Stearate Citrate ERCAWAX CE V, allowing a formula to stay light while remaining stable over time. For a refined floral note, it is often paired with natural wax components such as Jasmine Grandiflorum Wax, melting a small amount of the wax into a warm oil phase before the solubilizer is introduced.

The 100 gram size is well suited to home workshops, small studios, and pilot batches, giving formulators room to test a new recipe before scaling it up to larger production runs. Store the ingredient in a tightly sealed container, in a dry place at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, to keep its properties intact throughout its shelf life.
