Reliable Solubilizer for Continuous Cleansing Product Lines
PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate arrives in a 235 kg drum aimed at manufacturers who need a steady raw material supply without frequent reordering. This nonionic ingredient belongs to the Emulsifiers Bulk category, and its main function in production is bridging oil and water phases while dissolving fragrance oils and essential oils into water-based systems that would otherwise separate.
The primary application of this raw material is in cleansing product manufacturing: shampoos, shower gels, facial cleansers, liquid soap, and baby care lines requiring a mild formula. Its low irritation potential makes it a common choice for sensitive skin and children's products. Beyond cosmetics, the compound is widely used in household chemistry — dishwashing liquids and gentle cleaning formulas that need soft foaming and solubilizing action without harsh effects on skin.
In formulations, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate typically acts as a co-emulsifier and solubilizer alongside primary surfactant systems. It pairs well with Ceteareth-25 in cream and lotion bases, and with classic solubilizers such as Polysorbate 80 and Polysorbate 20 — this combination helps achieve clarity and stability in the finished product even at higher fragrance or essential oil loads.
Recommended dosage ranges from 3 to 8 percent of the total formula weight depending on the desired clarity and amount of oil to be solubilized. The ingredient is best introduced during the water phase mixing step at 40-60 degrees Celsius, after which the batch is cooled to room temperature under continuous stirring. It is compatible with most anionic and nonionic surfactants, cellulose and gum-based thickeners, and a broad range of fragrance oils. Store the material in sealed containers, in a dry area away from direct sunlight and heat sources, at room temperature to preserve stability throughout its shelf life.
The 235 kg drum size suits facilities running continuous production cycles — bottling lines for shampoos and shower gels typically consume this volume within a few weeks, reducing logistics costs and simplifying procurement planning for production teams.
Clear Sulfate-Free Shampoo Base
Distilled water 600 ml
Mild surfactant blend 220 ml
PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate 45 ml
Panthenol liquid 15 ml
Fragrance oil 12 ml
Preservative 8 ml
Combine
water with the surfactant blend at room temperature and mix gently until
uniform. Slowly add PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate while stirring continuously until
fully incorporated. Introduce the fragrance oil in small portions, stirring
constantly so the solubilizer keeps the mixture clear rather than cloudy. Blend
in panthenol and preservative, adjust thickness if needed with salt solution,
then transfer the finished shampoo base to storage containers and let it rest
for 24 hours before bottling.
