About PEG-18 Palmitate
PEG-18 Palmitate is a polyethylene glycol ester of palmitic acid.[1] The number 18 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added; within the same base structure, changing this number may also change water miscibility and the formula’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed.[2]
