We supply PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate as INNO KWHE, a cosmetic-grade nonionic refatting, solubilizing and sensory additive for cleansing and emulsion systems.
Key Benefits of PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate (KWHE)
- KWHE rapidly emulsifies makeup, sunscreen and skin oils during rinsing. It removes oily residue more cleanly than conventional refatting agents and leaves a light, conditioned feel instead of a greasy film.
- The nonionic surfactant has a mild profile and is suitable for gentle makeup removers and cleansing products. It is particularly useful where the cleanser must remove oil without leaving the skin tight.
- When blended with amino-acid surfactants, KWHE reduces harsh after-feel, improves rinse comfort and supports stable foam. In hair care, it also improves slip and softness.
- The grade solubilizes fragrance, essential oils, plant oils and other suitable oil-soluble materials in water-based formulas. It can help keep toners, cleansers and liquid systems clear.
- KWHE provides these refatting and solubilizing functions without disrupting foam or viscosity. This gives formulators more freedom to improve sensory feel without weakening the cleansing base.
Recommended applications
- KWHE is well suited to rinse-off makeup removers that must emulsify foundation and sunscreen quickly and rinse without a persistent oily film.
- Use it in clear cleansing gels, shampoo and body wash to soften the after-feel and support foam stability in amino-acid surfactant blends.
- In conditioner and refatting wash products, the grade improves slip and softness without making the rinse heavy.
- It also fits toners, lotions and water-based systems that need to solubilize fragrance, essential oils or suitable plant oils while maintaining clarity.

Choosing between related INNO products
Choose KWHE mainly for refatting, solubilizing and sensory improvement. Choose Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate when emulsifying and mild nonionic cleansing are the main goals.
Frequently asked questions
How do you decide whether a KWHE trial should be designed around refatting or solubilization?
Start from the failure the formula needs to solve. For a cleanser, measure rinse film, tightness and makeup removal; for a clear water-based product, build a solubilization ladder around the exact fragrance or oil-soluble material.
Will KWHE reduce foam when it is added for a softer rinse?
If foam drops after KWHE is added, split the batch and test the fragrance, emollient and KWHE additions separately. Match viscosity before comparing lather so the real cause is not confused with a slower mechanical foam build.
Which endpoints belong in a meaningful makeup-removal comparison with KWHE?
Use the target foundation, sunscreen or sebum model, then compare removal after a fixed massage and rinse procedure. Record oily residue, skin feel, water clarity and foam recovery rather than relying on a visual wipe test alone.
How can a rinse panel separate a clean finish from an over-stripped finish?
Use matched cleansing performance and ask panelists to score residue, drag and tightness at separate time points. A formula can feel very clean immediately yet show uncomfortable tightness later, so one overall preference score is not enough.
Why work with INNO?
INNO can compare makeup-removal efficiency, rinse film and solubilization in the customer’s base. The same team supports sample screening and commercial order planning.
