About Shea Butter PEG-8 Esters
Shea Butter PEG-8 Esters are esters containing parts derived from an acid and an alcohol.[1] The number 8 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added; with the same base structure, changing this number may also change the degree of water miscibility and the formula's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, they are used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, to create emulsion formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to lower surface tension so raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[1]
