About PPG-4-Buteth-4

PPG-4 Buteth-4 is the polyoxypropylene and polyoxyethylene ether of butyl alcohol, with an average of 4 propylene oxide repeat units.[1] It has an average of 4 ethylene oxide repeat units. The number 4 after PPG indicates the average number of linked propylene oxide units, and this number, together with the type of fatty component attached, affects oil miscibility and application feel. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce tangling and rough feel in hair for smooth conditioning and to leave the skin surface soft and smooth.[2]
