About
A hybrid emollient that combines PEG and PPG chains on a trimethylolpropane backbone — gives formulations a smooth, non-oily feel while delivering moisture.
PPG-68-PEG-10 trimethylolpropane is a complex ether-ester structed from ethoxylated and propoxylated trimethylolpropane (TMP). The 68 PO / 10 EO ratios produce an amphiphilic molecule that functions as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent. The presence of both PO and EO segments gives it favorable sensory properties and moisture-retention characteristics. No EU restrictions apply; it is listed in CosIng for skin-conditioning functions.
