PPG-1-PEG-9 Lauryl Glycol Ether
PPG-1-PEG-9 Lauryl Glycol Ether is a synthetic polymer that functions as a surfactant and emulsifier in cosmetic formulations. It helps to mix oil and water-based ingredients, creating stable product textures. It also aids in cleansing by reducing surface tension, allowing dirt and oils to be washed away more easily.
