PEOFA™MYPG1202 POLYGLYCERYL-2 LAURATE CAS NO. 96499-68-2
PEOFA™MYPG1202 is a mild natural
Emulsifier, suitable for rinse-in and disposable cosmetics.PEOFA™ MYPG1202 has an HLB value of 7.6 and can be used as a makeup remover emulsifier to combine oil and water into a stable and uniform system.It can emulsify facial oils and makeup (including waterproof makeup) and prevent the formula from layering in the bottle.It is very suitable for formulators who want to use mild plant-derived emulsifiers for cleansing and skin care, and can work well alongside common raw materials such as
Isopropyl myristate within cleansing oil frameworks.
What is PEOFA™ MYPG1202
Its INCI is called polyglycerol-2 laurate, CAS NO. 96499-68-2, is a polyglyceride composed of glycerol and lauric acid.It is a nonionic surfactant with emulsifying function.“2" means that before the laurate group is connected, about two glycerol units are connected together.
Unlike ethoxylated surfactants, polyglycerides do not contain polyethylene glycol (PEG) and are of natural origin, which are in line with the positioning of cleansing, beauty and sensitive skin. Many development projects looking for alternative options will compare its performance with classic
Solubilizers such as
Peg 40 hydrogenated castor oil to balance label‑friendly attributes and actual application effects.

Principle of action in makeup remover products
At a concentration of 5-10%, PEOFA™MYPG1202 can decompose oily dirt and lock the oily and aqueous phases.In makeup remover oil or makeup remover cream, it can accelerate the transformation of the oil phase to the milky phase when the product encounters water, so as to quickly rinse off makeup, sunscreen and sebum without leaving greasy residues.In makeup remover lotion, it prevents phase separation of the product during storage.The final product is light in texture, leaving almost no residue, and the texture is consistent from the first press to the last press.It shows great compatibility when building an
Oil in water emulsifier system for lightweight cleansing cream formulas.
Cosmetic application
- Makeup remover lotion and makeup remover oil
- Makeup remover cream and makeup remover oil
- Gentle skin care products, especially suitable for occasions where low-irritating emulsifiers are required
It can be perfectly matched with other cosmetic solubilizing and emulsifying systems, and is suitable for hot and cold processes.For cleaning-focused products, we recommend the use of lauryl alcohol polyether-4, which is specially designed for cleaning formulas.
Frequently asked questions
Does polyglycerol-2 laurate not contain polyethylene glycol (PEG)?
YesIt is a polyglyceride, not an ethoxylated surfactant, and therefore does not contain polyethylene glycol (PEG).This makes it meet the promotional requirements of “PEG-free” and “natural source”.
What is the amount of polyglycerol-2 laurate in makeup remover products?
Our recommended dosage is 5% to 10% of the total formula.The specific dosage depends on the oil content of the makeup remover product and the texture you want.
What is the difference between polyglycerol-2 laurate and polysorbate 80?
Both can emulsify oil and water, but polyglycerol-2 laurate does not contain PEG and is derived from plants, while polysorbate 80 is ethoxylated.Formulators usually choose polyglycerides when they need milder and cleaner product labels.
