About Methoxy PEG-100/Polyepsilon Caprolactone

Methoxy PEG-100/Polyepsilon Caprolactone is a block copolymer in which x is an average of 100 and y is 1.[1] The number 100 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. In 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 attract moisture to the formulation and skin’s surface and help maintain a moisturized feel, and to lower surface tension so raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
