About Bis-PEG/PPG-18/6 Dimethicone
Bis-PEG/PPG-18/6 Dimethicone is dimethicone with an average of 18 moles of ethylene oxide and 6 moles of propylene oxide randomly added at the ends.[1] The number 18 after PPG indicates the average number of linked propylene oxide units. This number, together with the type of fatty component attached, affects oil miscibility and the feel during application. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel and to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed.[2]
