About Apricot Kernel Oil PEG-6 Esters
Apricot Kernel Oil PEG-6 Esters is a complex mixture obtained by transesterification of apricot kernel oil and PEG-6.[1] The number 6 in the name represents the average number of added ethylene oxide units; for the same base structure, changing this number may also change water miscibility and formulation viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction and add a smooth feel to skin or hair, create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and condition the skin's surface, leaving it soft and smooth.[2] It is also used to lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
