PEG-7-Glyceryl Soyate

PEG-7-Glyceryl Soyate (PEG-7 glyceryl soyate) is a water-dispersible emollient listed by Esteem for skin care, hair care, shampoos and personal cleansing — giving skin-conditioning and re-fatting in surfactant-based formulations. It sits alongside PEG-7-Glyceryl Cocoate for formulators comparing soyate vs cocoate hydrophobes.

Published on Esteem’s emollients hub as a water-dispersible grade; do not substitute cocoate and soyate 1:1 without a feel/foam trial. Full family context is on the Emollients & Conditioners hub. For grade selection beyond this page, Esteem’s R&D and QA teams work from the application brief rather than a catalogue guess.

Applications

• Shampoos and body washes needing rinseable re-fatting.
• Skin-cleansing systems where soyate conditioning is preferred.
• Hair care cleansers balancing mildness with conditioning feel.

How to select the grade

• Soyate vs cocoate changes fatty profile and after-feel — trial both if skin feel is the differentiator.
• It is a co-ingredient, not a primary foamer; keep the anionic/amphoteric chassis intact.
• Check clarity in clear gels; water-dispersible does not guarantee crystal-clear.

How to specify on an RFQ

Send the application, the property that must not fail (HLB/emulsion stability, wetting, foam, feel or solubility), target specification, and trial quantity. That lets Esteem match the grade to your test method instead of quoting the nearest catalogue name. Current TDS, SDS and lot COA are shared for qualified enquiries through the document library route.
