About PEG-5 Cocamide
PEG-5 Cocamide is the polyethylene glycol amide of coconut acid.[1] The number 5 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added; within the same base structure, changing this number may also change water compatibility and the formula’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to create an emulsion in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to reduce surface tension so raw materials can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
