About Bis-PEG-20 Dimethicone

Bis-PEG-20 Dimethicone is a siloxane polymer, with n primarily averaging 20.[1] The number 20 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units; within the same base structure, changing this number can alter water miscibility and the formulation’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce hair tangling and roughness for smoother grooming, and to leave the skin surface feeling soft and smooth.[2]
