About PEG-17 Dimethicone
PEG-17 Dimethicone is a polyethylene glycol derivative of dimethicone containing an average of 17 moles of ethylene oxide.[1] The number 17 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. For the same base structure, changing this number can alter water compatibility as well as the formulation’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce hair tangling and roughness for smoother manageability, and to leave the skin’s surface feeling soft and smooth.[2]
