About Methoxy PEG-16
Methoxy PEG-16 is an ether.[1] The number 16 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. With the same base structure, changing this number can also change water miscibility and the formulation’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to attract water to the formulation and skin’s surface and help maintain moisture, and to dissolve other raw materials to create a uniform formulation.[2]
