About PEG-8 Caprylate/Caprate

PEG-8 Caprylate/Caprate is a polyethylene glycol ester made by combining caprylic and capric acids.[1] The number 8 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added. With the same base structure, changing this number may affect water miscibility and the formula's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed.[2]
