About PPG-12 Butyl Ether Dimethicone

PPG-12 Butyl Ether Dimethicone is the butyl ether of a dimethicone derivative with an average of 12 moles of propylene oxide added.[1] The number 12 after PPG indicates the average number of linked propylene oxide units; this number and the type of fatty component attached to it affect how well it mixes with oils and its application feel. In cosmetics, it is used to smooth and condition hair by reducing tangling and rough texture, help maintain hydration by attracting moisture to the formula and skin surface, and lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
