About PEG-9

PEG-9 is a polymer of ethylene oxide.[1] The number 9 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added. With the same base structure, changes in this number may also affect how readily it mixes with water and the formula’s viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to attract moisture to the formula and skin’s surface and help maintain a moisturized feel, and to dissolve other ingredients to create a uniform formula.[2]
