Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate is a natural conditioning agent and is used to penetrate the skin barrier.  Used in combination with various ingredients it can be used to increase hydration and cause cosmetics to have more effective results. Polyglyceryl-4 caprate can also be used to stabilize fragrance in products.  For instance, it can be used to include fragrance into our multi-use liquid soap base without having to shake before each use. Chemically, polyglyceryl-4 caprate are polar or amphiphilic lipids.  What this means is that polyglyceryl-4 caprate dissolves in both water and oil and work as an emulsifier to disperse all ingredients and stabilize a formula. Polyglyceryl-4 caprate is an incredibly versatile ingredient. In skin care products, polyglyceryl-4 caprate also works to decrease evaporation which locks in moisture. Polyglyceryl-4 caprate is the ester of fatty acid capric acid and glycerin-derived polyglycerin-4.  It belongs to the polyglyceryl fatty acid esters family, a category of naturally or synthetically derived ingredients used both in food and cosmetics, where they work as surfactants, emulsifiers and skin-conditioners.  It is often used in combination with other polyglyceryl esters.   Safety in cosmetic applications The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel (CIR) reviewed polyglyceryl-4 caprate, in 2023 and concluded it is safe in cosmetics in the current practices of use and concentrations and when formulated to be non-irritating. Polyglyceryl-4 caprate is safe at concentrations up to 1.5% in leave-on and rinse-off products. General usage is between .5% - 1.5%.  The Panel cautioned that care should be taken in formulating cosmetic products that may contain these ingredients in combination with any ingredients whose safety was based on their lack of dermal absorption data, or when dermal absorption was a concern. The Panel noted that droplets/particles from spray cosmetic products would notbe respirable to any appreciable amount. Furthermore, droplets/particles deposited in the nasopharyngeal or bronchial regions of the respiratory tract present no toxicological concerns based on the chemical and biological properties of these ingredients. Coupled with the small actual exposure in the breathing zone and the concentrations at whichthe ingredients are used, the available information indicates that incidental inhalation would not be a significant route of exposure that might lead to local respiratory or systemic effects. Max Usage according to CIRLeave-on products - 1.5%Rinse off products - 1.5% SpecialChem notes - Safety profile Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate is a safe ingredient because it is natural and shows no side effects. It doesn't irritate the skin or cause sensitivity and irritation. However, it can be mildly comedogenic and cause breakouts. It is recommended to do a patch test before full application. Further, Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate is vegan and halal. With uses up to 7%. Ataman chemicals reports safe usage up to 10%.

Decyl Glucoside is a non-toxic, non-ionic, natural plant based, sugar-derived surfactant created through the esterification of cornstarch glucose and natural fatty alcohol from coconut oil. It shares similar properties with other surfactants, exhibiting a balance of non-ionic mildness and anionic like foaming. This distinct quality makes it suitable for use as both a primary and co-surfactant in various formulations, including soaps, shampoos, and body washes. With its versatility, it is gentle yet effective for grimy hands. Decyl Glucoside biodegrades into glucose and fatty acids which make it environmentally friendly and compatible with all surfactants.  Which makes it easy to use in all your body cleansing formulations. Additional Information Surfactant Cleansing Emulsion Stability Foaming Conditioning Decyl Glucoside - 50 - 52% active. 50 - 48% water. Common Uses: Liquid soaps, shampoos, body washes, bubble baths, cleansing lotions, cleansing creams, baby products, hair conditioners, cream rinses, hair masks, micellar water. Safety in cosmetic applications The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel assessed the safety of Decyl Glucoside as used in cosmetics and concluded that this ingredient is safe in the present practices of use and concentration when formulated to be nonirritating. While Decyl Glucoside acts as a surfactant in cosmetic it may also have additional functions as skin-conditioning agents, hair-conditioning agents, or emulsion stabilizers.  How to Use (starting suggestions): Add to the water stage.
