About PEG-120 Distearate
PEG-120 Distearate is a polyethylene glycol diester of stearic acid.[1] The number 120 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added; for the same base structure, changing this number may also change water compatibility and the formula’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to create evenly mixed water-and-oil emulsions and to lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
