About PEG-6 Methyl Ether Dimethicone
PEG-6 Methyl Ether Dimethicone is the methyl ether of a polyethylene glycol derivative of dimethicone with an average of 6 moles of ethylene oxide.[1] The number 6 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 the formula's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed, to reduce tangling and rough feel in hair and leave it feeling smooth, and to leave the skin surface feeling soft and smooth.[2]
