SODIUM METHOXY PPG-2 ACETATE.

Insufficient Data CAS 165038-56-2 / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING, SURFACTANT - HYDROTROPE

SODIUM METHOXY PPG-2 ACETATE is a versatile ingredient functioning as a cleansing agent, emulsifier, and surfactant. It aids in blending oil and water phases, contributing to stable formulations and enhancing the solubility of other compounds.

Summary

cleansing agent emulsifier surfactant hydrotrope

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates by reducing the surface tension of liquids, a key property of surfactants, which allows for the effective mixing of oil and water in formulations. As an emulsifier, it stabilizes these immiscible mixtures. Its hydrotropic nature further enhances the solubility of less-soluble substances in water, making it valuable in various cosmetic applications. Generally, polypropylene glycol derivatives are appreciated for their broad range of viscosity, solubility, and favorable skin tolerance.
