PEG-6 CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC GLYCERIDES
PEG-6 CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC GLYCERIDES is a mixture of mono-, di-, and triglycerides built from chains containing 8 to 10 carbon atoms and ethoxylated. The stated average ratio is six moles of ethylene oxide for each glyceride mixture, so the ingredient contains different glyceride forms rather than one isolated molecule.

PEG-6 CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC GLYCERIDES: what it does in cosmetics
In cosmetic formulations, it is classified as a surfactant with an emulsifying role. This places it among the ingredients used when a formula needs to keep phases or components with different characteristics together, while the caprylic/capric portion identifies the medium-length chains present in the mixture.
