About Bis-PEG-8 PEG-8 Dimethicone
Bis-PEG-8 PEG-8 Dimethicone is a dimethicone derivative with terminal groups substituted by an average of 8 moles of ethylene oxide and side chains alkoxylated with an average of 8 moles of ethylene oxide.[1] The number 8 in the name represents the average number of ethylene oxide units added. For the same base structure, changing this number may affect water miscibility and the formulation’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to smooth hair by reducing tangling and a rough feel.[2]
