PEG-16 Macadamia Glycerides is a liquid emollient that is derived from macadamia nut oil. It is a polyethylene glycol derivative of mono- and diglycerides that has been ethoxylated with an average of 16 moles of ethylene oxide. This emollient has multiple functions such as conditioning, refatting, solubilizing, and acting as a secondary emulsifier. Its key benefits include high clarity in water, the ability to retain moisture, dispersibility at room temperature, clarity in gels, and water solubility.
