About PPG-2-Ceteth-20

PPG-2-Ceteth-20 is a polyoxypropylene, polyoxyethylene ether of cetyl alcohol, with an average of 2 propylene oxide repeating units.[1] It has an average of 20 ethylene oxide repeating units. The number 2 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 the application feel. In cosmetics, it is used to leave the skin surface soft and smooth and to reduce surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
