Substance information
"PPG" refers to a PPG-(polypropylene glycol-) derivative. The number behind "PPG-" (in the event of mixed PEG/PPG derivatives, the second number) states the average number of molecular units -CH2-CH2-CH2-O-. Methacrylates are polymers or copolymers based on methacrylic acid and / or its esters.

Background information on use in cosmetics
Polypropylene glycol (PPGs) and their derivatives are used in cosmetic products like the polyethylene glycols (PEGs). They are often used in cosmetic products since they have a broad range of viscosity and solubility properties and have a very good skin tolerance. As water soluble, non-greasy substances, polypropylene glycols are suited for many cosmetic purposes. The liquid PPGs serve, for instance, as solubilizers and solvents.
