About Bis-PEG/PPG-15/5 Dimethicone

Bis-PEG/PPG-15/5 Dimethicone is a dimethicone with an average of 15 moles of ethylene oxide and 5 moles of propylene oxide randomly added to the terminal groups.[1] The number 15 after PPG indicates the average number of linked propylene oxide units; together with the type of fatty component attached, it affects oil dispersibility and application feel. In cosmetics, it is used to help prevent emulsions of water and oil from separating easily and to attract moisture to the formula and skin surface to help maintain hydration.[2]
