About PEG-6 Propylene Glycol Caprylate/Caprate
PEG-6 Propylene Glycol Caprylate/Caprate is an organic compound; the omitted term is capryloyl/caproyl.[1] The number 6 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added. With the same base structure, changing this number can affect water miscibility and the formula’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on skin or hair, add a smooth feel, and create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed.[2]
