About PEG-100 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

PEG-100 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a polyethylene glycol derivative of hydrogenated castor oil containing an average of 100 moles of ethylene oxide.[1] The number 100 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units; within the same base structure, changing this number can affect water miscibility and the formula's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
