About

A PEG glyceride laurate derived from lauric acid, commonly used as an emulsifier and surfactant in cosmetic products.

PEG-8 Glyceryl Laurate (CAS 59070-56-3) is a glyceride ester of lauric acid (C12) with 8 mol ethylene oxide. PEG laurates are widely used in cosmetic emulsions and cleansing systems. EU Regulation 1223/2009 permits this ingredient with standard purity requirements. The same CAS number appears across multiple glycereth laurate variants, reflecting structural similarity. No EU Annex II or III restrictions apply.

Skin benefits

  • Skin conditioning and mild cleansing effects
  • Provides smooth, soft skin feel

Known concerns

  • Standard PEG impurity concerns (residual EO, 1,4-dioxane)
  • No EU-specific restrictions
