About PPG-5-Ceteth-10 Phosphate

PPG-5-Ceteth-10 Phosphate is a complex mixture of esters of polyoxypropylene and polyoxyethylene ethers of cetyl alcohol with phosphoric acid.[1] The number 5 after PPG indicates the average number of linked propylene oxide units. Together with the type of fatty component attached, it affects how well the ingredient mixes with oils and how it feels during application. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly blended and to lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
