What It Does

Poly Suga Mulse D9 is a pre-solubilized, water-based emulsifier blend combining Decyl Glucoside (a sugar-derived surfactant) with Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate and Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate (polyglycerol esters from coconut-derived caprylic/capric fatty acids), designed to simplify the formulation of oil-in-water emulsions without the need for a separate heating and mixing phase. Its unique liquid, water-dispersible format allows formulators to incorporate oils and actives into aqueous systems at room temperature, making it particularly valued in cold-process and natural formulation workflows. The entirely plant-derived, PEG-free ingredient system appeals to formulators targeting clean beauty, organic-certified, and eco-conscious product lines.
