About PEG/PPG-40/2 Propylheptyl Ether

PEG/PPG-40/2 Propylheptyl Ether is an ether in which two carbon portions are linked by oxygen.[1] The number 40 after PPG indicates the average number of linked propylene oxide units; together with the type of fatty component attached, this affects how well it mixes with oils and the feel during application. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water, create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and lower surface tension so raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[1]
