What it does

A PEG-modified coconut-derived glyceride used to dissolve oily ingredients into water-based formulas. In cleansers it helps the surfactants lift oil without separating. Like most solubilisers it does nothing for skin directly and rinses away.

Benefits
  • Keeps oil-soluble ingredients evenly dispersed
  • Helps a cleanser lift sebum and makeup
