About Bis-(Methyl Epoxidized Soyate) PEG-12
Bis-(Methyl Epoxidized Soyate) PEG-12 is an ester combining portions derived from an acid and an alcohol.[1] The number 12 indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. With the same base structure, changing this number can affect water miscibility and the formula’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly; to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly blended; and to help sebum and impurities rinse away with water.[1] It is also used to help solid particles or droplets remain evenly dispersed instead of clumping, and to help small amounts of oil-soluble ingredients mix transparently or evenly into the water phase.[1]
