About PPG-8-Ceteth-20

PPG-8-Ceteth-20 is a polyoxypropylene, polyoxyethylene ether of cetyl alcohol.[1] The number 8 after PPG indicates the average number of linked propylene oxide units. Together with the type of fatty component attached, this number affects oil miscibility and the feel during application. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed and to lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
