Ethoxylated Ingredients: What They Are and Why They Are Used
Posted by Max Green on 12/14/2023 to
Ethoxylated ingredients, also known as polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivatives or ethoxylates, are a class of compounds formed by reacting ethylene oxide with various substances, such as alcohols, acids, or amines. This process, called ethoxylation, introduces a polyethylene glycol chain to the original molecule, altering its properties and making it more water-soluble and less irritating.
