About Epsilon Caprolactone PEG/PPG-23/34 Copolymer

Epsilon Caprolactone PEG/PPG-23/34 Copolymer is a copolymer made up of two or more linked repeating units.[1] The number 23 after PPG indicates the average number of linked propylene oxide units. Depending on this number and the type of fatty component attached to it, the degree to which it mixes with oils and the feel on application may vary. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction and add a smooth feel to skin or hair, and to reduce tangling and roughness in hair for easier smoothing and grooming.[1] In Europe, diethylene glycol remaining as an impurity in the raw material must be controlled at 0.1% or less.[2]
