PPG- is the acronym for "polypropylene glycol", the polymer of propylene glycol (1,2-propanediol), a dihydric alcohol. The number after "PPG" indicates the average number of propylene glycol molecular units, for "PPG-7" this is 7 propylene glycol molecular units. "succinic acid copolymer" refers to a polymer based on succinic acid.

PPG-7-succinic acid copolymer is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance mixture acts as an emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple).
