About PEG-180

PEG-180 is a polymer of ethylene oxide.[1] The number 180 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. Within the same base structure, changes in this number may affect water miscibility as well as the viscosity and spreadability of the formulation. In cosmetics, it is used to attract moisture to the formulation and skin surface to help maintain hydration and to dissolve other ingredients to create a uniform formulation.[2]
