About PEG-5 Cocoate

PEG-5 Cocoate is a polyethylene glycol diester of coconut acid.[1] The number 5 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. Within 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.[2]
