About this ingredient

A silicone-based hybrid copolymer that combines cetyl alcohol with polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol (PPG), and dimethicone to create a versatile emulsifier and surfactant. It effectively stabilizes water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions while delivering a smooth, non-greasy sensory profile and improving product spreadability and wear characteristics.
