About Methoxy PEG-100
Methoxy PEG-100 is an ether.[1] The number 100 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 formula’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to attract moisture to the formula and skin surface to maintain hydration, and to dissolve other raw materials and create a uniform formula.[2]
