About PEG-240

PEG-240 is a polymer with an average of 240 moles of ethylene oxide.[1] The number 240 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added; for the same basic structure, changing this number may also change water miscibility and the formula’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to attract water to the formula and skin surface to help maintain moisture and to dissolve other raw materials for a uniform formula.[2]
