About PEG-18

PEG-18 is a polymer of ethylene oxide.[1] The number 18 indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added; with the same base structure, changing this number may also affect water compatibility and the formula’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to attract water to the formula and skin’s surface to help maintain moisture, and to dissolve other raw materials and create a uniform formula.[2]
