About Apricot Kernel Oil PEG-8 Esters

Apricot Kernel Oil PEG-8 Esters are oils containing lipids from seeds.[1] The number 8 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units; with the same base structure, changing this number may also change water miscibility and the formula's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, they are used to reduce friction and add a smooth feel to skin or hair, to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to leave the skin's surface feeling soft and smooth.[1] They are also used to lower surface tension so raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[1]
