PEG-30 Glyceryl cocoate

PEG-30 Glyceryl Cocoate (CAS 68201-46-7), also marketed as ethoxylated coco glycerides, is a mild, water-dispersible emulsifier and surfactant derived from coconut oil glycerides reacted with polyethylene glycol.

Where is PEG-30 Glyceryl cocoate used?

• Personal care: solubilizer, wetting agent and humectant
• Cosmetics: solubilizes oils and fragrance components into aqueous systems in rinse-off and leave-on formulations
• Shampoos, shower gels and body lotions: skin-conditioning
• Home care and industrial cleaning: improves wetting and emulsification of oily soils
• Textile processing: surface-wetting during dyeing and finishing for uniform fiber penetration
• It is particularly effective where mildness to substrates is required.

Good to know: PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, a lower-ethoxylate counterpart, is often specified alongside for comparison; the PEG-30 grade offers stronger hydrophilicity and better cold-water dispersibility.
