About PEG/PPG-8/3 Diisostearate

PEG/PPG-8/3 Diisostearate is a polyethylene glycol ether of the propoxylated diester of isostearic acid, with average ethoxylation and propoxylation values of 8 and 3, respectively.[1] The number 8 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 its application feel. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to reduce surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
