Frequently Asked Questions

What is PEG-30 glyceryl cocoate used for?

PEG-30 glyceryl cocoate (CAS 26160-80-5) is an ethoxylated coconut-oil glyceride supplied as a nonionic surfactant. It functions as an emulsifier for oil-in-water cleansing systems, as a refatting/superfatting agent that offsets surfactant defatting, and as a solubilizer for oils and fragrance.

Is glyceryl cocoate from coconut?

Yes. Glyceryl cocoate is derived from coconut fatty acids esterified with glycerin; the PEG-30 grade is further ethoxylated with about 30 ethylene-oxide units to tune its surfactant and refatting behavior.

What is a refatting or superfatting agent?

A refatting (superfatting) agent is a mild oily or ethoxylated-ester component added to surfactant cleansers to counteract the defatting effect of the primary surfactants. PEG-30 glyceryl cocoate is used in this role to improve the feel of the finished cleanser.

What is the CAS number and HS code for PEG-30 glyceryl cocoate?

It carries CAS 26160-80-5 and typically classifies under HS heading 3402.42 (nonionic surface-active agents). Confirm the import classification for your jurisdiction with your broker.

How is bulk PEG-30 glyceryl cocoate supplied, and how do I get a price?
