Personal Care

Overview
Polyglycol copolymers are used in cosmetics and toiletries. Products formulated with these products feature superior softening, conditioning, and skin-smoothing characteristics, without leaving a tacky feel or undesired moisture on the skin. In personal care formulations they:

• are neutral and odorless, with a relatively low order of toxicity
• are non-irritating to the skin
• are water-soluble
• do not decompose and seldom react with other ingredients
• offer a wide range of compatibilities and moderate hygroscopicity, so any intermediate melting point or viscosity can be obtained
