Durosoft PG10-CY an effective natural

solubilizer for fragrances
Part of Stephenson’s naturally derived, COSMOS approved
surfactants, emollients and solubilisers, Durosoft PG10 CY
is an ingredient that can be used in a variety of haircare,
cosmetic and personal care applications. It is COSMOS
approved polyglyceryl-10 Caprylate and known to be an
effective non-ionic solubiliser of fragrances, essential oils
and lipophilic oils into aqueous systems due to the large
polyglyceryl head group. The ingredient is effective in
solubilising fragrances and essential oils in soap, bath,
haircare and skincare products.

The full Durosoft range is a unique range of naturally

derived monoglyceryl and polyglyceryl esters which use
state of the art technology to provide natural alternatives
to synthetic ingredients found in many cosmetic and
personal care products. The diverse product range
includes natural, RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm
Oil) and palm free ingredients.

Manufacturers and formulators can be confident that

formulating with Durosoft means greater access to
a wider range of natural ingredients, esters that are
compatible with oil and water phases, no deleterious
effect on temperature sensitive ingredients and a broader
array of HLB than other commonly used ingredients in
the personal care market for a greater stability profile.
In addition, as the range carries sustainable ingredients
and it is PEG (polyethylene glycol) free, EO free and skin
friendly, this represents great news for both consumers
and the environment.
