Discover the Power of Polyglyceryl-3 Caprate: A Natural Emulsifier for Clean Beauty Formulations
In today’s clean beauty movement, formulators are searching for gentle, biodegradable, and plant-based alternatives to traditional surfactants. One ingredient that’s making waves in this space is Polyglyceryl-3 Caprate — a natural, multi-functional emulsifier that brings both performance and sustainability to cosmetic formulations.
What Exactly Is Polyglyceryl-3 Caprate?
Polyglyceryl-3 Caprate is a natural non-ionic surfactant made from glycerin and capric acid, both derived from renewable plant sources. It serves as an excellent emulsifier, solubilizer, and mild cleansing agent, making it highly valued in personal care and skincare applications.
Unlike synthetic PEG-based emulsifiers, Polyglyceryl-3 Caprate offers a clean-label solution with low irritation and high skin compatibility — perfect for brands embracing “green chemistry” and “vegan formulations.”

Why Formulators Love It?
Here’s why this ingredient is becoming a favorite in modern formulations:
1. Gentle on Skin: Non-irritating and suitable for sensitive skin care.
2. Biodegradable: 100% plant-based and eco-friendly.
3. Effective Solubilizer: Helps dissolve essential oils and actives into clear solutions.
4. Boosts Preservation: Enhances antimicrobial activity, reducing the need for synthetic preservatives.
5. Multi-functional: Works as an emulsifier, co-emulsifier, and mild cleansing agent.

Where You’ll Find It?
Polyglyceryl-3 Caprate is used in a wide range of personal care products, including:
* Facial cleansers & micellar waters
* Moisturizing lotions & creams
* Deodorants & body sprays
* Hair and scalp care products

Consumers today expect products that are not only effective but also environmentally responsible. Polyglyceryl-3 Caprate bridges this gap — delivering high performance while aligning with sustainability goals and “free-from” product positioning.
Whether you’re formulating a gentle facial cleanser or a green emulsified lotion, Polyglyceryl-3 Caprate offers a versatile, natural, and future-proof solution.
