About Bis-PEG-1 Dimethicone
Bis-PEG-1 Dimethicone is dimethicone with its terminal groups substituted with an average of 1 mole of ethylene oxide.[1] The number 1 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added; for the same base structure, changing this number may alter water miscibility and the formulation's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce tangling and roughness for smoother-feeling hair, add flexibility so films or polymer layers do not become excessively rigid, leave the skin surface feeling soft and smooth,[2] and lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
