About PEG-120 Stearate
PEG-120 Stearate is a polyethylene glycol ester of stearic acid.[1] The number 120 in its name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added; within the same base structure, changing this number may alter water miscibility and the formula's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
