What Is Methylsilanol Tri-PEG-8 Glyceryl Cocoate?
Methylsilanol tri-PEG-8 glyceryl cocoate is a not commonly used emulsifying ingredient used in cosmetics. This compound contains silicones and fatty acids derived from coconut oil, which also means it serves as a texture enhancer. In addition to these functions, methylsilanol tri-PEG-8 glyceryl cocoate also works as a skin and hair conditioning agent. Use levels of this synthetic ingredient range from 1–10%.
