PPG-11 Stearyl Ether

Generally safe·Limited evidence

A synthetic emollient made from stearyl alcohol and propylene oxide, used to give antiperspirant roll-ons and creams a light, non-greasy glide. Data are thinner than for older emollients, but what exists shows good tolerance, and CIR reviews of related PPG ethers found them safe as used.
