Overview

PPG-26-buteth-26 is a polypropylene glycol containing ethoxylated portions, as well. Functionally, this chemistry indicates that the ingredient is a water-loving surfactant, which means it can act as an emulsifier, solubilizer, and cleansing agent.

As an emulsifier, PPG-26-buteth-26 helps create oil-in-water emulsions. A solubilizer is a surfactant that can dissolve small amounts of oil into water and maintain a clear system. These oils tend to be fragrances or other ingredients that only requires small additions.

This ingredient can also serve as a cleansing agent for use in shampoos or body washes.
