PEG-20 BEESWAX

Ingredient type: EMULSIFIER/TEXTURE

✨ Role: PEG-20 Beeswax is used in cosmetic care as an emulsifying agent. It helps stabilize and blend water-based and oil-based ingredients that would not otherwise mix naturally.

Ingredient type: Emulsifier

‍⚕️ Safety: Generally safe. However, caution should be exercised for sensitive or reactive skin, although PEGs are widely considered safe by experts.

✨ Vegan: No, because it is a synthetically modified beeswax.

✨ Note: PEGs (polyethylene glycols) are sometimes criticized for their potential for contamination by impurities. Skin care manufacturers generally ensure the purity of their sources.
