About PEG-8 Caprylate
PEG-8 Caprylate is a polyethylene glycol ester of caprylic acid.[1] The number 8 in the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. Within the same base structure, changing this number may affect water miscibility and the viscosity and spreadability of the formula. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed.[2]
