About PEG-5 Glyceryl Stearate

PEG-5 Glyceryl Stearate is a polyethylene glycol ether of glyceryl stearate.[1] The number 5 indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added; with the same base structure, changing this number may also affect water compatibility and the formula’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to lower surface tension so that raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
