PPG-14 butyl ether is a clear, nearly colorless, and slightly viscous liquid. The molecular weight of PPG butyl ether ingredients increases as the number they’re correlated with rises (hence PPG-14 butyl ether is lighter than, say, PPG-40 butyl ether). It is used in cosmetics as conditioners for the skin and hair.

What is PPG-14 BUTYL ETHER used for?
PPG-14 butyl ether serves as a conditioner for the skin and hair. It creates a thin film when applied to the skin or hair surface, leaving both surfaces moisturized. By halting moisture loss, it guards against dehydration of the skin and hair. Therefore, the skin has access to more moisture. This is especially beneficial for people with dry and sensitive skin. PPG-14 butyl ether creates a barrier and gives skin a smooth, silky appearance. It gives the appearance of soft, silky, lustrous, shiny hair. It is incorporated into the formulation of skincare, hair care, and personal care products. According to the Cosmetic Ingredient Review, PPG-14 butyl ether is typically used in amounts between 0.1% to 1%, although higher concentrations are permissible.
Additionally, it is also used in other types of self-care products such as perfumes and deodorants. It helps to restore a supple feel to the skin and enhances the texture of personal care product formulas.

Origin
Propylene oxide may be present in the PPG Butyl Ethers, which are made when n-Butyl Alcohol and excess Propylene Glycol react.
