About PEG-20 Stearate

PEG-20 Stearate is a polyethylene glycol ester of stearic acid.[1] The number 20 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units; within the same base structure, changing this number may affect 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, help attract moisture to the formula and skin surface to maintain a moisturized feel, and reduce surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
