About

A PEG glyceride laurate with 7 ethylene oxide units, used as an emulsifier and skin conditioning ingredient in personal care.

PEG-7 Glyceryl Laurate (CAS 59070-56-3) is a glyceride ester of lauric acid with 7 mol ethylene oxide. PEG laurates are among the most commonly used PEG glycerides in cosmetics due to their favourable safety profile and effectiveness. EU Regulation 1223/2009 permits this ingredient category. The same CAS is shared across multiple glycereth laurate variants. Standard impurity controls apply for residual solvents.
