PEG-15 GLYCERYL TRIISOSTEARATE
Ingredient type: EMULSIFIER/TEXTURE
✨ Role: PEG-15 Glyceryl Triisostearate is primarily used as an emulsifier in cosmetic products, helping to blend oil and water to create stable formulas. It provides a smooth, pleasant texture and improves the application of the product on the skin.
Ingredient type: Emulsifier
Safety: This ingredient is generally considered safe for cosmetic use, although, as with any PEG (polyethylene glycol), it may be subject to impurities such as 1,4-dioxane. Manufacturers should therefore ensure that purified versions are used.
✨ Vegan: Yes, it is synthetic and does not contain any animal-derived products.
✨ Good to know: Well tolerated by most skin types, it is low in irritants. However, those with sensitive skin may benefit from a patch test before use. Its ability to improve texture makes it a popular choice in creams and lotions.
