About PEG-60 Shea Butter Glycerides
PEG-60 Shea Butter Glycerides are polyethylene glycol derivatives of glycerides obtained from shea butter, with an average ethoxylation value of 60.[1] The number 60 indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added. With the same base structure, changing this number can alter water miscibility as well as a formula's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, they are used to reduce friction and add a smooth feel to skin or hair, to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
