About PEG/PPG-8/3 Laurate

PEG/PPG-8/3 Laurate is a raw material obtained by reacting lauric acid with an average of 8 moles of ethylene oxide and 3 moles of propylene oxide.[1] The number 8 after PPG indicates the average number of linked propylene oxide units. Depending on this number and the type of fatty component attached, its compatibility with oils and application feel vary. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed, to help prevent the emulsified state from separating easily, and to reduce tangling and rough feel in hair, leaving it softly groomed.[2] It is also used to attract moisture to the formulation and skin surface to help maintain hydration, and to lower surface tension so raw materials can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
