About PEG-3 Methyl Ether

PEG-3 methyl ether is a polyethylene glycol ether of methyl alcohol with an average n of 3.[1] The number 3 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added; with the same base structure, changing this number may also change water miscibility and the formulation's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to attract moisture to the formulation and skin surface to help maintain hydration, and to dissolve other raw materials to create a uniform formulation.[2]
