PPG-2-DECETH-10.

Valuable CAS - / SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

PPG-2-DECETH-10 is a versatile synthetic polymer primarily functioning as an emulsifier and solubilizer. It enables the stable blending of immiscible liquids like oil and water, while also acting as a surfactant to facilitate cleansing and enhance the penetration of other active compounds.

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a surfactant, PPG-2-DECETH-10 effectively lowers the surface tension between diverse components, enabling the stable dispersion of oil-based and water-based ingredients within a formulation. This property also allows it to attract and suspend impurities, making them easier to rinse away, and can facilitate the skin's uptake of other ingredients.
