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-3 Caprate is a non-ionic surfactant made by combining plant-derived glycerol with capric acid, a fatty acid commonly obtained from coconut or palm oils. It also helps bring oil- and water-based ingredients together. We use it to support the shampoo’s cleansing system, improve its consistency and help reduce the dry or stripped feeling that cleansing ingredients can sometimes leave behind.
ORIGIN
Naturally derived and manufactured from plant-origin glycerol and fatty acids. Made using renewable plant-based raw materials.
BENEFITS
• Supports gentle cleansing
• Helps oils and water blend together
• Contributes to a softer skin and coat feel
• Helps improve product texture and thickness
• PEG-free and non-ionic
DID YOU KNOW?
The “3” in Polyglyceryl-3 refers to the short chain of glycerol units used to create the ingredient. Combining this water-attracting portion with a plant-derived fatty acid allows it to work between water and oils within a formula.
