About PEG-8 C12-18 Alkyl Ester
PEG-8 C12-18 Alkyl Ester is a polyethylene glycol ester of a synthetic mixture of saturated acids containing C12 to C18 alkyl chains, with an average of 8 moles of ethylene oxide. The number 8 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units; within the same basic structure, changing this number may also affect water miscibility and the formula’s viscosity and spreadability.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to lower surface tension so that raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
