PEG-55 Propylene Glycol Oleate

PEG-55 Propylene Glycol Oleate is a synthetic polymer derived from polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and oleic acid. It functions primarily as an emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients in cosmetic formulations. It can also act as a surfactant, aiding in cleansing and foaming.
