About PEG-160m
PEG-160M is a polymer of ethylene oxide.[1] The number 160 indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added; within the same base structure, changing this number can alter water miscibility and the formulation's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to help formulation ingredients bind together and maintain their form, to help keep water-and-oil emulsions from separating easily, and to adjust the formulation's viscosity and flow.[2]
