FunctionSolubilizer
What it is — PPG-26-Buteth-26 (INCI of the same name) is a nonionic solubilizer.
What it does — It is commonly used to help disperse oils and fragrance into water-based formulas, keeping them clear, uniform and stable, and is often paired with PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil.
Typical use — Found in toners, mists, essences and fragranced water-based products.
Who it suits / good to know — Broadly suitable; it is a background solubilizer rather than a skin active, so there is little for the skin to react to.
Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice.
