Detailed Analysis

Babassu Oil Polyglyceryl-4 Esters is a mild, non-ionic surfactant produced by transesterification of babassu (Orbignya oleifera) seed oil with polyglycerin-4. It combines the emollient properties of babassu oil's lauric acid-rich fatty acid profile with the mildness of polyglycerol esters. No GHS hazard codes. CosIng-listed as a cleansing surfactant. Polyglycerol esters are among the mildest surfactant classes, well-tolerated even in baby care products.
