PPG-1-ISODECETH-9.

Valuable CAS - / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

PPG-1-ISODECETH-9 is a sophisticated polypropylene glycol (PPG) derivative offering a blend of functionalities in skincare. It effectively stabilizes oil and water phases as an emulsifier, while simultaneously enhancing skin hydration as a humectant. This ingredient further refines product feel, contributing to a smooth, non-greasy finish.

Summary

Cleansing Emulsifying Skin Conditioning Humectant Solvent

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by significantly lowering the interfacial tension between oil and water, facilitating the formation and stabilization of emulsions within formulations. As a humectant, it actively attracts and binds atmospheric moisture to the skin, thereby improving hydration levels. Its solvent properties aid in the uniform dispersion of other active ingredients, and it conditions the skin to impart a refined, smooth tactile sensation without residual greasiness.

Stability

Polypropylene glycols and their derivatives are known for their broad viscosity and solubility profiles, coupled with good skin tolerance. They exhibit resistance to both oxidizing and reducing environments, as well as hard water, maintaining activity in cold water, acidic, neutral, and diluted alkaline conditions.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe with restrictions
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has concluded that alkyl PEG/PPG ethers, including PPG-1-ISODECETH-9, are safe for use in cosmetic products provided they are formulated to be non-irritating to the skin. While typical usage for related PPG-9 is 1% to 20% (not exceeding 50%), maximum concentrations for alkyl PEG/PPG ethers are generally lower than for individual components. Propylene glycol, a related compound, holds a Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status by the FDA and is approved for topical drug applications at concentrations up to 98%.
