About Dimethicone PEG-8 Phthalate

Dimethicone PEG-8 Phthalate is a partial ester of PEG-8 Dimethicone and phthalic acid.[1] The number 8 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added. For the same base structure, changing this number may also change water miscibility and the formulation's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce hair tangling and roughness for a smoother finish and to leave the skin's surface soft and smooth.[2]
