About PEG-2 Stearate
PEG-2 Stearate is a polyethylene glycol ester of stearic acid.[1] The number 2 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added; when the base structure is the same, changes in 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, and to reduce light transmission so that the contents appear less visible.[2]
