About PEG-40 Glyceryl Stearate

PEG-40 Glyceryl Stearate is a polyethylene glycol ether of glyceryl stearate.[1] The number 40 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. With the same base structure, changing this number can 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 and to lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
