Methoxy PEG-114/Polyepsilon Caprolactone

Methoxy PEG-114/Polyepsilon Caprolactone is an amphiphilic graft copolymer composed of a polyethylene glycol (PEG-114) backbone with pendant polycaprolactone chains, capped at one end with a methoxy group. The hydrophilic PEG segment and hydrophobic caprolactone segments give it surface-active, emulsification, and rheology-modifying properties. Used in premium Korean skincare (notably Sulwhasoo's ginseng-based formulas) as a texture enhancer that imparts a silky, non-greasy finish.
