Expert Verdict
Very low. Plant-derived glucose ester with medium-chain fatty acids (C8/C10). Considered mild and well-tolerated.. Similar to the caprate/caprylate/oleate version (#7) but without the oleate chain, making it lighter in feel. Non-ethoxylated, naturally derived, and suitable for "green" / COSMOS-eligible formulations. Functions as both an emulsifier and rheology modifier.
