About PEG/PPG-50/20 Tocopheryl Ether

PEG/PPG-50/20 Tocopheryl Ether is an ingredient obtained by reacting an average of 20 moles of propylene oxide and 50 moles of ethylene oxide.[1] The number 50 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 ability to mix with oils and its application feel may vary. In cosmetics, it is used to help powder ingredients flow evenly without clumping, slow the oxidation of formulation ingredients caused by reaction with oxygen, and help ingredients in the formulation bind together to maintain its form.[2] It is also used to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed, help prevent such emulsions from separating easily, and add flexibility so that films or polymer layers do not become excessively rigid.[2] It is used to leave the skin surface feeling soft and smooth, reduce surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly, and help reduce changes to the product and formulation ingredients caused by ultraviolet light.[2]
