About Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone is a copolymer of an alkoxylated derivative of dimethicone containing an average of 10 moles of ethylene oxide and 1 mole of propylene oxide, and cetyl dimethicone.[1] The number 10 after PPG indicates the average number of linked propylene oxide units; together with the type of fatty component attached, it affects how well the ingredient mixes with oils and the feel during application. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed, leave the skin's surface feeling soft and smooth, and lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
