Characteristics of PEG/PPG/Polybutylene Glycol-8/5/3 Glycerin

PEG/PPG/Polybutylene Glycol-8/5/3 Glycerin is a complex, synthetic ingredient widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations. It's a modified form of glycerin, incorporating polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol (PPG), and polybutylene glycol units. The numbers "8/5/3" refer to the average number of repeating units of ethylene oxide (8), propylene oxide (5), and butylene oxide (3) in the polymer structure.

Like glycerin, it excels at attracting and retaining moisture from the air, drawing it into the skin. This provides excellent and long-lasting hydration, helping to keep the skin soft, supple, and moisturized. Its moisturizing ability is often comparable to, or even synergistic with, traditional glycerin.

Unlike some humectants that can feel sticky or tacky, PEG/PPG/Polybutylene Glycol-8/5/3 Glycerin is known for its non-sticky, non-greasy, and silky skin feel. This makes formulations containing it pleasant to apply and quickly absorbed\

PEG/PPG/Polybutylene Glycol-8/5/3 Glycerin is an excellent humectant that is soluble in water and oil. It can improve skin roughness and wrinkle.
