About PPG-4-Ceteth-5
PPG-4-Ceteth-5 is the polyoxypropylene, polyoxyethylene ether of cetyl alcohol, with an average of 4 propylene oxide repeating units.[1] The average number of ethylene oxide repeating units is 5. The number 4 after 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 how it feels when applied. In cosmetics, it is used to leave the skin surface feeling soft and smooth and to lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
