About PEG-5 Stearyl Ammonium Lactate

PEG-5 Stearyl Ammonium Lactate is a quaternary ammonium salt.[1] The number 5 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units; within the same base structure, changing this number may also change water miscibility and formula viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce static electricity that causes hair strands to lift or stick together and to lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
