About PEG/PPG-30/10 Tocopheryl Ether

PEG/PPG-30/10 Tocopheryl Ether is an ingredient obtained by reacting an average of 30 moles of ethylene oxide with tocopherol and 10 moles of propylene oxide.[1] The number 30 after PPG indicates the average number of linked propylene oxide units. Depending on this number and the type of fatty component attached to it, its miscibility with oils and application feel vary. In cosmetics, it is used to help powder ingredients flow evenly without forming lumps, slow the oxidation of formula ingredients caused by reactions with oxygen, and help formula ingredients bind together to maintain their form.[2] It is also used to create evenly mixed oil-in-water emulsions, help prevent emulsions from separating easily, and add flexibility so films or polymer layers do not become excessively rigid.[2] It is used to leave the skin feeling soft and smooth, lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly, and reduce changes to the product and formula ingredients caused by ultraviolet light.[2]
