We supply Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate emulsifier as INNO Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, a cosmetic-grade nonionic emulsifying and solubilizing ingredient for cleansing and leave-on systems.
Key Benefits of Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate
- Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is a plant-derived, PEG-free nonionic ingredient with cleansing, emulsifying and solubilizing functions. It can replace several single-purpose auxiliaries in a mild formula.
- In wash products, it reduces the harsh feel of the surfactant system and helps preserve a moisturized, non-tight after-feel. It is a strong partner for amino-acid surfactants.
- In transparent toners and serums, it provides an alcohol-free route for solubilizing suitable oil-soluble ingredients. This avoids the sensory penalty that a high ethanol level can create in sensitive-skin products.
- The grade has its own antimicrobial contribution, which can reduce the load placed on the preservation system. The complete formula still requires compatibility and microbial efficacy testing.
- It is readily biodegradable and suitable for formulas pursuing COSMOS or ECOCERT natural-product requirements. Its plant origin and PEG-free structure support naturally positioned skin and hair care.
Recommended applications
- Use Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate in clear toner and serum when an alcohol-free solubilizing route is needed for suitable oil-soluble ingredients.
- In facial cleanser, body wash and shampoo, combine it with amino-acid surfactants to reduce harshness and preserve a moisturized after-feel.
- It can support makeup remover, cream and lotion as a mild co-emulsifier with a plant-derived, PEG-free positioning.
- The grade also suits sunscreen and naturally positioned emulsions developed around biodegradability and COSMOS or ECOCERT requirements.
Formulation and commercial details

Frequently asked questions
How do you know whether a clear system needs a solubilizer or a true emulsifier?
A small oil load with a transparency target should be screened as a solubilized system. If the oil phase forms visible droplets or the required solubilizer ratio becomes impractical, move to an emulsion design instead of forcing clarity.
How do you find the right solubilizer ratio for a fragrance or essential oil?
Premix the oil-soluble material with Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, add the water phase gradually, and screen several ratios. Select the lowest ratio that remains clear after the full stability cycle, not just immediately after mixing.
The Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate batch was clear before the preservative was added. How should the haze be traced?
The preservation blend may change solvent balance or compete for the same micelles used to hold fragrance and oil. Repeat the solubilization ladder with the full preservative system present and judge the result after stability, not just at batch release.
Why does the required solubilizer ratio change when the fragrance changes?
Each fragrance has a different balance of oils, solvents and polar materials. Repeat the clarity ladder for every fragrance and check it with the final preservative system instead of transferring the ratio from a previous scent.
Why work with INNO?
INNO helps customers screen clear solubilization and mild cleansing systems around this PEG-free grade. Documentation and sample support are available for natural-product projects.
