About Dimethicone PEG-8 Adipate
Dimethicone PEG-8 Adipate is a partial ester of PEG-8 Dimethicone and adipic acid.[1] The number 8 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added. Within the same base structure, changing this number can affect water miscibility and the formulation's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, reduce tangling and roughness in the hair for a softer, more manageable finish, and smooth and refine the skin's surface.[2]
