What does PPG-3 Benzyl Ether Myristate do in skincare?
It works mainly as an emollient and solvent, giving products a smooth, light slip and helping them spread evenly on the skin. It can also help dissolve other oil-soluble ingredients in a formula. This makes it useful in lotions, sunscreens, and makeup-type products.

It is synthetic. The ingredient is a manufactured ester combining a polypropylene glycol benzyl ether portion with myristic acid. While myristic acid can be plant-derived, the overall material is produced through chemical synthesis.
