About PEG-120 Propylene Glycol Stearate
PEG-120 Propylene Glycol Stearate is the polyethylene glycol ether of propylene glycol stearate.[1] The number 120 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added. For the same base structure, changing this number can alter water miscibility and the formulation’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly blended, and to lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
