Frequently Asked Questions
What is glycerol monococoate used for?
Glyceryl cocoate (glycerol monococoate) is the glycerol monoester of coconut-derived fatty acids. It is used as an emollient and nonionic emulsifier in personal-care formulations and as a coconut-derived glyceride in cleansing bases. RawSource supplies it under CAS 26402-26-6.
What is glycerol monococoate made from?
It is made by esterifying glycerol with coconut-derived fatty acids, yielding a glycerol monoester (C11H22O4 for the representative unit). Because it is coconut-derived, buyers with coconut sensitivities should review the SDS and source documentation. Reference CAS 26402-26-6 on procurement documents.
Is glycerol monococoate the same as PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate?
No. Glycerol monococoate is the non-ethoxylated glyceryl ester of coconut fatty acids, while PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate is the ethoxylated (PEG-7) derivative with different solubility and surfactant behavior. They are distinct INCI ingredients; confirm CAS 26402-26-6 for the non-PEG grade.
Is glycerol monococoate an emulsifier or an emollient?
It serves both roles: it is a nonionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems and a skin-conditioning emollient in personal-care products. Its glyceride structure also makes it useful in cleansing bases. The technical data sheet details functional use levels.
How is bulk glycerol monococoate supplied and quoted?
It is supplied with CoA and SDS in packaging scaled to order volume for personal-care manufacturers. Pricing depends on grade, quantity, and packaging, so we quote per request rather than list a price. Submit a bulk RFQ with your target volume for a current quote.
