About PEG-40 Ricinoleamide

PEG-40 Ricinoleamide is a polyethylene glycol amide of ricinoleic acid, with an average n value of 40.[1] The number 40 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. With the same base structure, changing this number may affect water miscibility and the formulation's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
