About PPG-2-Deceth-12

PPG-2-Deceth-12 is a polyoxypropylene, polyoxyethylene ether of decyl alcohol.[1] The number 2 following 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 the feel during application. In cosmetics, it is used to create evenly mixed water-and-oil emulsion formulas and to lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
