About PEG-2 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

PEG-2 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a polyethylene glycol derivative of hydrogenated castor oil with an average of 2 moles of ethylene oxide.[1] The number 2 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. With the same base structure, a change in this number may alter water miscibility and the formulation's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed.[2]
