Revision as of 00:20, 28 December 2007
Propylene glycol cocoate is a chemical compound produced by the esterification of polyoxyalkyl alcohols with lauric acid.[1] Its chemical designation is PEG-8[2], referring to its polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecular chain length.
Uses
Propylene glycol cocoate is used in cosmetics and toothpaste to form emulsions, which it does by reducing surface tension in the substances of which an emulsified form is required.
