PPG-26-Buteth-26
A nonionic solubilizer used to dissolve oily ingredients such as fragrance into water-based formulas.
What it does
PPG-26-Buteth-26 is a synthetic polyether surfactant. Its mix of water-loving and oil-loving parts lets it dissolve small amounts of oily ingredients, like fragrance, into clear water bases, so it is used as a solubilizer, often with PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil. It is a formulation ingredient rather than a skin active.
