Capryleth-4, is a polyalkylene glycol ether, also called fatty alcohol polyglycol ether. The lipophilic part of capryleth-4 consists of a fatty alcohol derived from caprylic acid. The hydrophilic part is formed by a short-chain polyethylene glycol. Capryleth-4 acts in cosmetic products as surfactant and emulsifier.
