Methylsilanol tri-peg-8 glyceryl cocoate (inci)

Methylsilanol tri-PEG-8 glyceryl cocoate are mixtures of substances which are used in cosmetic substances. The silanol mixtures of glycerol esters of fatty acids extracted from coconut oil act as emulsifiers (change the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together) and as skin care products.

Silanols are derivatives of silanes. Silanes are silicon compounds and can be regarded as "silicon homologues" of alkanes based on a carbon skeleton. In silanols, one or more hydroxy groups are bound to a silicon atom. Silanols can therefore be regarded as silicon analogues of alcohols. PEG" is the acronym for polyethylene glycol, "cocoate" is the fatty acid from coconut oil.
