About Dimethicone PEG-8 Phosphate
Dimethicone PEG-8 Phosphate is a partial ester of dimethicone and phosphoric acid and contains an average of 8 moles of ethylene oxide. The number 8 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units; within the same basic structure, changing this number may also change water miscibility and the formulation’s viscosity and spreadability.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction and add a smooth feel to skin or hair, increase the amount of foam and help it resist collapsing, and reduce tangling and roughness and leave hair feeling soft.[2] It is also used to leave the skin’s surface feeling soft and smooth and to lower surface tension so raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
