TEGOSOFT® PC 41 MB: Advanced Multifunctional Emollient and Solubilizer

TEGOSOFT® PC 41 MB (INCI: Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate) is a high-performance, plant-derived emollient and solubilizer developed by Evonik to meet the strictest modern standards in natural and sustainable cosmetics. It plays a multifunctional role in personal care formulations, acting as a gentle co-emulsifier, solubilizer, and mildness enhancer — ideal for sensitive skin, eco-conscious brands, and clean-label beauty.

This PEG-free ingredient has gained wide acceptance in global cosmetics markets due to its natural origin, transparent appearance, water solubility, and excellent skin compatibility. It carries RSPO MB certification and is particularly well-suited for oil-in-water emulsions (O/W), micellar systems, and rinse-off products where skin tolerability is key.
