DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
PPG-26 butyl ether is a substance used in cosmetic formulations where it acts as an emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple).
"PPG" in this context refers to a PPG (polypropylene glycol) derivative. The number behind "PPG-" indicates the average number of molecular units -CH2-CH2-CH2-O-. "Butyl" usually designates butanol (1-butanol or n-butanol) as the alcoholic component or, in general, a saturated hydrocarbon chain with 4 carbon atoms; "ether" designates a linkage product of two alcohols.
