About PEG/PPG-200/40 Copolymer

PEG/PPG-200/40 Copolymer is a block copolymer obtained by reacting an average of 200 moles of ethylene oxide with 40 moles of propylene oxide.[1] The number 200 after PPG indicates the average number of propylene oxide units linked. Depending on this number and the type of fatty component attached, oil miscibility and application feel vary. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities rinse away with water, to dissolve other raw materials and create a uniform formulation, and to lower surface tension so raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
