PEG-15 LANOLATE

Ingredient type:  EMULSIFIER/TEXTURE

✨ Role: PEG-15 Lanolate is used in cosmetic products for its emollient properties. It helps to soften and smooth the skin, while serving as an emulsifier to stabilize formulations containing aqueous and oily phases.

Ingredient type: Emulsifier

‍⚕️ Safety: Generally considered safe for use in cosmetics. However, it is always important to carry out a skin test to ensure the absence of allergic reactions.

✨ Vegan: No, because this ingredient is derived from lanolin, which comes from sheep's wool.

✨ Worth knowing: PEGs can sometimes contain residual impurities from their manufacturing process, such as 1,4-dioxane, which is a substance of concern. Well-formulated products minimize these traces. Those with sensitive skin may want to test the product on a small area first.
