About PEG-15 Glyceryl Tristearate
PEG-15 Glyceryl Tristearate is the triester of the polyethylene glycol ether of stearic acid and glycerin.[1] The number 15 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added; within the same basic structure, changing this number can affect water miscibility and the viscosity and spreadability of the formulation. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair, add a smooth feel, and create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed.[2]
