About PEG-45
PEG-45 is an ethylene oxide polymer.[1] The number 45 in the name represents the average number of ethylene oxide units added; within the same base structure, changing this number may also change its water miscibility and the formulation's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to help formulation ingredients bind together to maintain their form, attract moisture to the formulation and skin surface to maintain moisturization, and dissolve other raw materials to create a uniform formulation.[2]
