Science
Mechanism of Action
As a nonionic surfactant, PPG-10 Glyceryl Ether operates by reducing surface tension within a formulation. This action allows it to effectively emulsify oil and water phases, create delicate textures, and uniformly disperse other components. Furthermore, its solvent and solubilizer properties aid in increasing the solubility of active ingredients, thereby potentially boosting their bioavailability and overall efficacy within the product.
