PEG-10 OLIVE GLYCERIDES

What Is PEG-10 OLIVE GLYCERIDES?

PEG-10 olive glycerides are PEG-modified glycerides derived from olive oil. With 10 PEG units, this ingredient has moderate-high water solubility and functions primarily as a emulsifier and solubilizer in cosmetic formulations. Olive glycerides contribute emollient and skin-conditioning benefits while the PEG component enables incorporation into water-based products.
