Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane
Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane is a dimethyl silane ethoxylated methyl diether containing an average of 36 moles of ethylene oxide. Unlike most silicones, it is water dispersible rather than oil dispersible, making it suitable for light, watery formulations. It functions as an emollient, humectant, surfactant, foam booster, and hair and skin conditioner.
