Description
PEG-75 Stearate is a non-ionic emulsifier formed by esterification of stearic acid (fatty acid) with polyethylene glycol (with a molecular weight of 75). In cosmetics, it helps to mix water and oils, creating stable emulsions. In addition, it improves the consistency and texture of the product, reduces greasiness, provides softness to the skin, and is often used in moisturizers, cleansers, and sunscreens. It has good compatibility with other emulsifiers.
