About PEG-20 Hexadecenylsuccinate
PEG-20 Hexadecenylsuccinate is obtained by reacting hexadecenylsuccinic anhydride with PEG-20.[1] The number 20 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. In the same base structure, changing this number may also affect water miscibility and the viscosity and spreadability of the formulation. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed.[2]
