Usage

General Description

PPG-3 Methyl Ether is a type of chemical compound that is frequently used in cosmetic and personal care products, including but not limited to shampoos, deodorants, and lotions. It mainly functions as a solvent, helping to dissolve other substances in the formulation for better mixing. PPG-3 Methyl Ether also enhances the feel of product on skin by making it softer and smoother. Despite its widespread use, it is considered a low hazard ingredient by the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Cosmetics Database, suggesting that it's generally safe for topical use. However, as with all chemicals, individual reactions may vary, and certain individuals may have sensitivities to it.
