About Bis-PEG-15 Methyl Ether Dimethicone

Bis-PEG-15 Methyl Ether Dimethicone is the methyl ether of a derivative of dimethicone whose terminal groups are substituted with 15 moles of ethylene oxide.[1] The number 15 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added; within the same base structure, changing this number may also change water miscibility and the viscosity and spreadability of the formulation. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed, to reduce tangling and rough feel in hair for smooth manageability, and to leave the skin surface feeling soft and smooth.[2] It is also used to lower surface tension so that ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
