About PPG-4 Laureth-2

PPG-4 Laureth-2 is a polyoxypropylene and polyoxyethylene ether of lauryl alcohol.[1] The number 2 at the end of the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added, changing the balance between water-loving and oil-loving portions and thereby affecting cleansing power, emulsifying ability, and sensory feel. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, help prevent emulsified mixtures of water and oil from separating easily, and leave the skin surface soft and smooth.[2]
