PEG-30 glyceryl cocoate is a low-irritation, water-soluble surfactant, and is a mixture of mono- and diglycerides derived from coconut oil. PEG-30 glyceryl cocoate’s non-ionic nature proves to be useful as an emulsifier, moisturizer, and stabilizer for dermatological and mild personal care formulations requiring low levels of skin and eye irritation.
