About PEG-15 Stearate
PEG-15 Stearate is the polyethylene glycol ester of stearic acid.[1] The number 15 in its name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units; for the same base structure, changing this number may alter water miscibility and the formula’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed.[2]
