About Methoxy PEG-7

Methoxy PEG-7 is an ether.[1] The number 7 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 attract moisture to the formulation and skin's surface to help maintain hydration and to dissolve other raw materials for a uniform formulation.[2]
