About

A partially PEGylated glyceryl oleate with 10 EO units — a mild emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent with a good dermatological profile.

PEG-10 Glyceryl Oleate is the polyethylene glycol (10 EO) ester of glyceryl oleate, where approximately 10 ethylene oxide units are added to a partially PEGylated glyceryl backbone esterified with oleic acid. It functions as an emulsifying agent and skin-conditioning agent. The 10-unit PEG chain gives it an intermediate profile — more water-soluble than glyceryl oleate alone, but less hydrophilic than highly ethoxylated versions. It is considered a mild emulsifier suitable for sensitive skin formulations. The oleic acid component is a natural fatty acid with conditioning properties.
