EWG HAZARD
Low
Learn about EWG Scores Understanding the EWG rating EWG Skin Deep® uses a 1–10 hazard scale based on known and suspected hazards associated with an ingredient. Lower scores indicate a lower hazard rating: 1–2 Low 3–6 Moderate 7–10 High The rating is a useful reference point, but it is not a complete safety assessment. It does not take into account factors such as concentration, exposure or individual sensitivity. Lupito considers EWG information alongside other relevant research and safety information when selection ingredients for our dog-care formulations.

WHAT IS IT?
Polyglyceryl-10 Caprate is an ester made from polymerised glycerin and capric acid. Its water-loving and oil-loving portions allow it to bring ingredients together that would not ordinarily mix.
ORIGIN
Plant-derived or synthetic, depending on the supplier. Our plant-derived version is made using vegetable glycerin and plant-derived fatty acids.
BENEFITS
Helps create a uniform, stable formula; disperses oily ingredients in water; supports gentle cleansing; and contributes to a soft, comfortable after-feel.
DID YOU KNOW?
Its name tells you about its structure: “polyglyceryl-10” refers to approximately ten glycerin units, while “caprate” comes from capric acid.
