About Hydrogenated Palm/Palm Kernel Oil PEG-6 Esters

Hydrogenated Palm/Palm Kernel Oil PEG-6 Esters are a complex mixture obtained through the transesterification of hydrogenated palm kernel oil, hydrogenated palm oil, and PEG-6.[1] The number 6 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. Within 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 friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly blended, and leave the skin’s surface feeling soft and smooth.[2] It is also used to help keep a formulation’s condition and properties from changing easily during storage, and to lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
