About

PPG-1 trideceth-6 — a hybrid propoxylated/ethoxylated tridecyl alcohol used to solubilise fragrances and lipophilic actives in clear water-based formats. Well-tolerated; usual ethoxylation purity caveats apply for 1,4-dioxane.

Skin benefits

  • Effective solubiliser for fragrances and lipophilic actives
  • Mild emulsifier in clear/water-based formats
  • Good water-solubility and rinse-off

Known concerns

  • Ethoxylated material may carry trace 1,4-dioxane unless purified
  • PPG-PEG hybrid composition is supplier-dependent
  • Limited specific safety review compared to plain trideceth or PEG families
