Overview
Poloxamer 184 is a block copolymer of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol. This technical terminology essentially means that this ingredient consists of large molecules that are chemical blends of two small, repeating subunits.
Because this ingredient has both oil-loving and water-loving characteristics, it most commonly serves as a surfactant in skincare products.
In some cases, it can be used as a cleansing agent, such as in face and body washes. In other cases, it can be used to form oil-in-water emulsions. These emulsions are generally lightweight creams or lotions, which can include many types of skincare products, from moisturizing creams to toners and serums.
