Verdict
Low concern; no ethoxylation involved; the polyglyceryl backbone is well-tolerated and biodegradable; CIR-reviewed as safe. Produced by transesterification of Orbignya oleifera seed oil with polyglycerin-6 (a 6-unit glycerin polymer); the longer polyglyceryl chain compared to the -4 variant provides slightly higher HLB and enhanced O/W emulsification capability, making it a popular choice in natural and organic cosmetics
US Note
Allowed - covered under the same CIR safety assessment as other polyglyceryl fatty acid esters, concluded safe in current use concentrations
