About PEG-5m
PEG-5m is a polymer of ethylene oxide.[1] The number 5 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added; with the same base structure, changing this number may also change the degree to which it mixes with water and the formula's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to help ingredients in a formula bind together and maintain its form, to prevent emulsions of water and oil from separating easily, and to adjust the viscosity and flow of the formula.[2]
