PEG-20 glyceryl oleate is a polyethylene glycol derivative used in cosmetic products. Glyceryl oleates are glycerol esters of oleic acid. The oleic acid used for esterification may also contain other fatty acids. The number 20 after "PEG-" indicates the average number of molecular units -CH2-CH2-O-. PEG-20 glyceryl oleate acts as an emulsifier.
