Surfactant ingredient
PPG-8-Ceteth-20
A mixed PEG/PPG ether of cetyl alcohol: 8 units of propylene oxide (PPG) and 20 units of ethylene oxide (PEG) on a C16 cetyl backbone. Functions as an O/W emulsifier in cosmetic formulations. The PPG segment reduces the stringent feel sometimes associated with pure PEG emulsifiers, giving a softer skin feel. Used in cream-mists and milky tonics where a stable yet fluid emulsion is needed.
