About PEG-12 Oleate

PEG-12 Oleate is a polyethylene glycol ester of oleic acid.[1] The number 12 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. With the same base structure, changing this number may affect how well it mixes with water as well as the formula's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed.[2]
