PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides

PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides is a mixture of fatty acids derived from coconut oil and glycerin, modified with polyethylene glycol. It functions primarily as an emulsifier, helping oil and water-based ingredients mix together smoothly in cosmetic formulations. It can also act as a mild surfactant, aiding in gentle cleansing.
