Product Overview
Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, also known as Poleryl 10 LA, is a non-ionic, PEG-free surfactant made from natural sources. It is created by esterifying Polyglyceryl-10 with Lauric Acid. This process gives it a structure that can attract both water and oil, making it an excellent surfactant for mixing these substances together​​​​.
In cosmetics, Poleryl 10 LA is mainly used as a solubiliser, helping to dissolve essential oils and fragrances in water-based products like tonics, micellar waters, and wet wipes. It works effectively at a ratio of 5:1 to 10:1 with the substance to be solubilised. Adding solvents like propanediol or ethanol can improve its performance, especially with challenging ingredients​​​.
It also acts as a co-surfactant in cleansing products such as body washes, liquid soaps, and shampoos, used at concentrations between 0.5% and 2.0%. Poleryl 10 LA helps enhance the foaming and cleaning power of these products while being gentle on the skin, making it ideal for sensitive skin formulations​​​.
It is 100% naturally derived and free from PEGs, aligning with ISO 16128 standards and approved by COSMOS. These attributes make it a great choice for formulators focused on creating natural and sustainable cosmetic products​​​.
