PPG-13-Decyltetradeceth-24
PPG-13-Decyltetradeceth-24 is a synthetic PEG/PPG derivative, specifically the polyoxypropylene (13) polyoxyethylene (24) ether of decyltetradecanol, used primarily as an emulsifier and surfactant in skincare formulations. This clear to pale-yellow liquid promotes stable oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions by reducing interfacial tension, while its solubilization power enables the incorporation of oil-soluble fragrances and active ingredients without stickiness. It also contributes mild cleansing, reducing surface tension to aid in even product spread and gentle removal of dirt and excess oils. Its high moisturizing effect and low irritation profile make it suitable for lotions, creams, cleansers, and serums targeting all skin types.
