About PEG-4 Methyl Ether

PEG-4 Methyl Ether is a polyethylene glycol ether of methyl alcohol.[1] The number 4 indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added. Within the same basic structure, changing this number can affect water miscibility as well as the formula's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to attract moisture to the formula and skin surface to help maintain hydration, and to dissolve other ingredients and create a uniform formula.[2]
